When a user want to connect to a server like AWS, he/she needs USERNAME+PASSWORD to authenticate himself/herself to the server before getting any protected information. The same logic applies here when a API/robot is trying to connect to AWS -- a service account is needed for API calling. The service account consists of:
access_key_id: JKT3AKUV3DI8VXCRMNQ2
secret_access_key: H2d6NHSPN7G8wuH7+hjRFhd+tMJhTu87DjJzmjgM
Here,
access_key_id is like USERNAME which is public and
secret_access_key is like PASSWORD which should be kept secret.
