How Do I Create an AK/SK Pair for a Huawei Cloud Account?
An access key comprises an access key ID (AK) and secret access key (SK). It is used as long-term identity credentials to sign your requests for Huawei Cloud APIs. Like a user name and password, you must use both the AK and SK together to authenticate your requests. Manage your access keys as securely as you do your user name and password.
You need to provide an AK/SK pair when using SMS. To learn how to gain an AK/SK pair for your Huawei Cloud account, see Access Keys.
During the migration, do not delete the AK/SK pair, or the migration will fail.
