Configure your AWS Key/Secret

Boto can be configured to talk to AWS in manyg ways. The convention we use is to use the ~/.aws/credentials file.

$ mkdir ~/.aws
$ touch ~/.aws/credentials

Edit the ~/.aws/credentials folder and add the following. Replace YOUR_KEY and YOUR_SECRET with your AWS key/secret combination.

[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET

As an alternative, you can create a ~/.boto file with the following:

[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET
