Access key ID and Secret Access Key for AWS Educate account

I have an AWS Educate Account but I'm unable to get the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for the account. It mentions that I do not have IAM access when I try to follow the AWS guide on getting these, does that mean that there's no way for me to get it using the educate account?

From vocareum main page > Account details > AWS CLI > Show Copy and paste the CLI details into '~/.aws/credentials' for mac and 'C:/users/%UserProfile%/.aws/credentials' for windows.

[default]
region=us-east-1
aws_access_key_id=*****
aws_secret_access_key=*******
aws_session_token=***********************

'region' is not present in AWS CLI details from Vocareum. So please don't forget to add it. You can specify any region.

If you want to verify your details add 'output = json' along with the above details in your credentials file and run the command 'aws sts get-caller-identity'. It will display your Account ID, User ID and ARN.

To check if your CLI is working, you can try to connect to S3 bucket using aws s3 ls

I think it's better to create a personal account and use the free tier. This is a better way for education pupose. AWS Educate account has limited access, you can't create users with keys, the root user can't create buckets from scripts, etc.

  1. Go to https://labs.vocareum.com/ and there you will find Account details . just click on it .

  2. there you will see AWS CLI . Here you will see your aws_access_key_id , aws_secret_access_key and aws_session_token . Go to C:/users/Dell/.aws/credentials then copy and paste the line of AWS CLI to the credentials file

All done !! you will now can be able to access your SQS , S3 Bucket without Create an user in IAM . in student account , it can't be accessed to create an IAM User.

1) Go to Vocareum. This is kinda the main page of your student AWS account.

2) Find the blue button Account Details, click it - profit!
