In-Depth Information
Once we have added our AWS account details to Eclipse, it automatically adds these
properties to a file named
AwsCredentials.properties
. This file will be located
at
$USER_HOME/.aws/config
(in the case of Windows, its
C://Users/<user-
name>/.aws/config
). If the file is not created then we can create it ourselves. The
file will look as follows (a few characters are removed and replaced for security pur-
poses):
[default]
aws_access_key_id = AKIAIJAN5EPLHLEGAK3A
aws_secret_access_key =
5W6jveT***Prabhakaran****xJ6jBwHpzM+hzOo
region = us-east-1
output = json
The first two lines (treating
[default]
as line zero) are to authenticate ourselves to
AWS. If the file has credentials other than yours, then replace those and save it. The third
line specifies the region in which we need to perform DynamoDB operations. The last line
is to specify the output format (of the response from AWS).
