Access Key and Secret Authentication for AWS SQS

Devo and Amazon offer two authentication options for SQS. Devo and AWS recommend using cross-account credentials. The access key method is necessary if data is to be sent between AWS partitions. If you choose to use access keys instead, you need to:

Open the Cloud Collector App catalog.
Create the SQS collector instance.

Change the credentials JSON object to include only the access key lines.

      "credentials": {
        "aws_access_key_id": "<KEY_ID>",
        "aws_secret_access_key": <SECRET>"
      },

Note that the access key ID typically includes capital letters and digits.

The secret access key also contains lower case letters and special characters.
