Rotate Access Key and Secret Key

This section provides step-by-step instructions for creating and rotating Access Keys and Secret Keys:

1. Log in to the AWS console.

   

2. Click Services.

   

3. Under Security, Identity, & Compliance, select IAM.

   

4. Select Users.
5. From the list of users, select the user to manage.

   

6. Click Security credentials.

   

7. Click Create access key.

   

8. Copy the Access key ID and Secret access key.

You can now use these keys in the application or direct access to the CLI or API. When viewing the Access Key, there is a Last used column. You can leverage this to ensure the Access Key is no longer in use and can be deleted as part of the key rotation schedule.
