EC2 Credentials

 

AIQ can connect to an EC2 instance to run tests in a Cloud Testing environment.

See onnEC2 Configuration for information on test deployment in the Amazon Cloud.

The following configuration parameters must be defined:

• Account Name is the account name by which AIQ securely communicates with the Amazon EC2 service.

• AWS Access Key is a special security key to access the EC2 service. Managing Access Keys for Your AWS Account. You can create, rotate, disable, or delete access keys (access key IDs and secret access keys) for your AWS account root user. Anyone who has an access key for your AWS account has unrestricted access to all the resources in your account, including billing information

• AWS Secret Key Secret access keys are—as the name implies—secrets, like your password. For your security, AWS doesn’t reveal your password to you if you forgot it (you’d have to set a new password). Similarly, AWS does not allow the retrieval of a secret access key after its initial creation. This applies to both root secret access keys and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user secret access keys.
