How do I get AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID for Amazon?

access-keys, amazon-web-services

Solution

- Go to: http://aws.amazon.com/

- Sign Up & create a new account (they'll give you the option for 1 year trial or similar)

- Go to your AWS account overview

- Account menu in the upper-right (has your name on it)

- sub-menu: Security Credentials

Problem

I'm totally new to AWS. I downloaded some sample code from Amazon and I need to set a number of constants: - `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` - `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` - `MERCHANT_ID` - `MARKETPLACE_ID` I just created an AWS account. I want some type of sandbox account so I can try out the code samples. What are the exact steps I have to take to: - Create a sandbox account - Get these credentials
