Final answer:

To generate AWS credentials file, follow these steps: login to AWS Management Console, navigate to IAM service, create a user or select existing user, generate access key and secret access key, create a file named 'credentials' in AWS directory, insert content into the 'credentials' file, and save the file.

Step-by-step explanation:

To generate AWS credentials file, you can follow these steps:

  1. Login to the AWS Management Console
  2. Navigate to the 'IAM' service
  3. Create a new IAM user or select an existing user
  4. Generate an access key and secret access key for the user
  5. Create a file named 'credentials' in your AWS directory
  6. Insert the following content into the 'credentials' file:
  • [default]
  • aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
  • aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
Save the 'credentials' file

Make sure to replace 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY' with the actual access key and 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY' with the secret access key you obtained from AWS.
