I use a VPC connection to an RDS mySql DB... the credentials I use I cannot reuse to connect to an S3 bucket. I have keys and token but I cannot add to that credential file. Is is stored in my SSH folder and I cannot edit it.
Is there a way to have more than one credential file one for RDS and one for S3?
Use named profiles. configure additional profiles by using
aws configure with the --profile option
or add access key and secret in ~/.aws/credentials (Linux & Mac) or %USERPROFILE%.aws\credentials (Windows) files as below
[default]
aws_access_key_id=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
aws_secret_access_key=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
[user1]
aws_access_key_id=AKIAI44QH8DHBEXAMPLE
aws_secret_access_key=je7MtGbClwBF/2Zp9Utk/h3yCo8nvbEXAMPLEKEY
Use as below
aws ec2 describe-instances --profile user1
