Best Practices for Providing Programmatic Access to AWS Resources

Which of the following is a recommended way to provide programmatic access to AWS resources?

a Create a new IAM user and share the username and password

b Use Multi Factor Authentication to access AWS resources programmatically

c Use IAM Groups to access AWS resources programmatically

d Use Access Key ID and Secret Access Key to access AWS resources programmatically

Final answer:

The recommended way to provide programmatic access to AWS resources is by using Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

Explanation:

The recommended way to provide programmatic access to AWS resources is by using Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. These credentials are long-term credentials that comprise an access key and a secret access key. By using these credentials, you can programmatically access AWS resources.

The other options mentioned, such as creating a new IAM user and sharing the username and password, using multi-factor authentication (MFA), or using IAM groups for programmatic access, are not the recommended ways to provide programmatic access to AWS resources.
