Best Practices for Providing Programmatic Access to AWS Resources
Which of the following is a recommended way to provide programmatic access to AWS resources?
a Create a new IAM user and share the username and password
b Use Multi Factor Authentication to access AWS resources programmatically
c Use IAM Groups to access AWS resources programmatically
d Use Access Key ID and Secret Access Key to access AWS resources programmatically
Final answer:
The recommended way to provide programmatic access to AWS resources is by using Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
Explanation:
The recommended way to provide programmatic access to AWS resources is by using Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. These credentials are long-term credentials that comprise an access key and a secret access key. By using these credentials, you can programmatically access AWS resources.
The other options mentioned, such as creating a new IAM user and sharing the username and password, using multi-factor authentication (MFA), or using IAM groups for programmatic access, are not the recommended ways to provide programmatic access to AWS resources.
