## Authentication
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Alicloud provider offers a flexible means of providing credentials for authentication.
|
||
|
|
The following methods are supported, in this order, and explained below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Static credentials
|
||
|
|
- Environment variables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Static credentials ###
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Static credentials can be provided by adding an `access_key` `secret_key` and `region` in-line in the
|
||
|
|
alicloud provider block:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
provider "alicloud" {
|
||
|
|
access_key = "${var.access_key}"
|
||
|
|
secret_key = "${var.secret_key}"
|
||
|
|
region = "${var.region}"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###Environment variables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can provide your credentials via `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY` and `ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY`,
|
||
|
|
environment variables, representing your Alicloud Access Key and Secret Key, respectively.
|
||
|
|
`ALICLOUD_REGION` is also used, if applicable:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
provider "alicloud" {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
