Note: An access key is needed to connect to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) service through the software development kit (SDK). The access key is a way to authenticate from the SDK as an Identity and Access Management (IAM) account. The number of requests is unlimited, but every request to your Amazon S3 bucket(s) has a charge (see Request Pricing).
