AWS Credentials

AWS credentials can be provided in two ways. The devcontainer exposes whichever credentials are available.

Host machine (recommended)Environment variables

If you have AWS CLI configured on your host machine:

aws configure

Credentials from ~/.aws/credentials are mounted into the devcontainer.

If AWS CLI is not configured on your host, uncomment and configure these variables in .env:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key_here
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key_here
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=ap-south-1

Credential Precedence

Environment variables override ~/.aws/credentials. Double-check which credentials are active before running destructive commands.
