Access key and Secret key to create a target secret

• Now install the awscli and awscli-plugin-endpoint package to configure the AWS CLI.

• After you create ~/.aws/credentials with above accessKey and secretKey and ~/.aws/config file with correct Region Name, you have the s3.endpoint_url to create the OVH Object Storage Container as a Target in T4K.

• Run below command to list the Object Storage container.

aws --profile default s3 ls

OVH Container is accessible using awscli

• Now, you have credentialSecret, url, region and S3 bucketName to proceed with the target creation.
