AWS

• For using our programmatic access credentials with AWS we can make use of provider in terraform.
  • 
  • This is not a recommended approach.
• Instead we can have the credentials in .aws/config/credentials and terraform will automatically make use of those credentials.
  • 
• Another way of passing these variables is using the environment variables.
  • We can also set the region in environment variables allowing us to remove the provider block completely
  •
