[Doc] Show users an example of the minimum AWS environment variables required #12

Closed jahio closed 7 years ago

jahio commented 8 years ago

Configuration for AWS (on their end and the user's) is a prerequisite; however, there's no listing of the exact names of the keys for the environment variables used for secret access key and access key id.

Suggestion: Add an example in the document about AWS showing a valid configuration for a user's .profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="some value"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="another value"

Note that if the project is going to stay committed to utilizing direnv, you could add these to the example .envrc for the project, with comments explaining what's up in further detail.
