Existing User#

  1. In command line, run the following command to set up the aws environment:

    aws configure

  2. Enter your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key (If you don’t have them, see New User)

  3. For region, set it to the AWS region you’d like to set up your SDS. For IMAP, we’re using “us-west-2”:

    [imap]
region=us-west-2
aws_access_key_id=<Access Key>
aws_secret_access_key=<Secret Key>

  4. Then, you can set the profile used by cdk by setting the AWS_PROFILE environment variable to the profile name (in this case, imap):

    export AWS_PROFILE=imap
