===Authentication===

* Go to the "Security Credentials" page and acquire your "Access ID" and "Access Key" (~40 byte hashes)

* Go to the "Security Credentials" page and acquire your "Access ID" and "Access Key" (~40 byte hashes), and your [[X509]] cert and key.

* You can use the access key in three ways:

** Fill in the template values in <tt>credential-file-path.template</tt> from the unpacked command line tools' directory, and export AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE pointing to this file

** Reference this same file via --aws-credential-file ''file'' as an argument to all commands

** Provide --I ''ID'' --S ''Key'' as arguments to all commands

* You can use the X509 key in two ways:

** Export EC2_CERT=''cert'' and EC2_PRIVATE_KEY=''key''

** Reference these same files via --ec2-cert-file-path ''cert'' and --ec2-private-key-file-path ''key''

* I add the following to .bashrc:

<pre>~~AWS~~="$HOME/.aws"

<pre>export AWS_AUTO_SCALING_HOME="$HOME/local/aws"

export PATH="$PATH:$~~AWS~~/bin"

export PATH="$PATH:$AWS_AUTO_SCALING_HOME/bin"

export AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE="$~~AWS~~/credential-file-path.template"

export AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE="$AWS_AUTO_SCALING_HOME/credential-file-path.template"

~~unset AWS~~</pre>

</pre>
