What Are the AK and SK of an Imported Host? How Can I Obtain Them?

An access key comprises an access key ID (AK) and secret access key (SK) pair that is used as identity credentials for users to access cloud resources using development tools. The system uses AKs to identify users and SKs to verify signatures. Encrypted signature verification ensures the confidentiality and integrity of requests and the identity of the requester.

• If you select a cloud platform for Cloud Vendor on the Import Host page, you can manage your access keys on the My Credential page. Perform the following operations to obtain your AK and SK?

  Log in to the management console. In the upper right corner of the page, click the username and choose My Credentials > Access Keys. The Access Keys page is displayed.

• If you select other cloud vendor on the Import Host page, click How to get? next to the Access Key ID field to go to the specific cloud platform and obtain the AK/SK file as instructed.
