Description​

An AWS IAM Access Key is a set of credentials used to authenticate and authorize programmatic access to AWS services. It consists of an access key ID and a secret access key. These keys are used in API calls, SDKs, and command-line tools to interact with AWS resources securely, granting permissions defined by the associated IAM user or role.
