Cloud Service Configuration

The IoT platform can interconnect with HUAWEI CLOUD services. Obtain the access key (AK) and secret access key (SK) from the HUAWEI CLOUD management console to connect the IoT platform with HUAWEI CLOUD. After purchasing other HUAWEI CLOUD services, create rules to forward data from the IoT platform to these services.

NOTE:

AK: identifies the access key. It is a unique identifier associated with a private access key. The AK and SK are used together to encrypt a request. SK: works with AK to encrypt a request, identify the sender, and prevent the request from being modified.

Obtaining the AK and SK

1. Log in to HUAWEI CLOUD and access the management console.
