Within the aws.conf file there are 3 stanzas.
Keys, Regions, and Misc.
[keys]
In the Keys section it states to format your information like the following:
=
and provides the following example:
1122334455 = mycomapny-name AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA +++++BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB/BBBB 10000
I'm hoping I'm just getting caught up in the example, as for me, my account number on AWS is 12 digits not 10, and that's without dashes. So if this is indeed the AWS Account Number that appears in the upper right section of your Console, it would be a 12-digit number either in the format of 1111-2222-3333, or 111122223333 ...right?
I am assuming, and perhaps incorrectly, that this has absolutely nothing to do with authorization and authentication on the AWS side, as the accounts for AWS (short of IAM accounts) are not aligned to groups. I have been setting this to any string value that omits spaces.
This one made sense...again, to me.
This one also made sense.
[Regions]
From what I can tell all applicable regions have been defined and are active in the example provided.
[Misc]
Here is where things got a little challenging.
Is there a difference between in the [keys] stanza and the located in the [misc] stanza?
Are there any additional steps that need to be followed once the aws.conf file is properly populated?
Thanks in advance !
