How do I get AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID for Amazon?


I'm totally new to AWS.

I downloaded some sample code from Amazon and I need to set a number of constants:

I just created an AWS account. I want some type of sandbox account so I can try out the code samples.

What are the exact steps I have to take to:

  1. Create a sandbox account
  2. Get these credentials

Solution

    1. Go to: http://aws.amazon.com/
    2. Sign Up & create a new account (they'll give you the option for 1 year trial or similar)
    3. Go to your AWS account overview
    4. Account menu in the upper-right (has your name on it)
    5. sub-menu: Security Credentials
