Aws Access Key Folder (awsUtils-AwsAccessKeyFolder)
To utilize some of the capabilities of the AWS Service, it is necessary to use an access key for authentication. These tasks
may typically be one-off configuration tasks during station commissioning. Thus, by default access keys are only stored temporarily.
This is in line with best practice as access keys should only be stored as long as you require them.
AWS Access Keys are stored securely in a dedicated encrypted key ring to which only the awsUtils module code has access. Keys are automatically purged from the key ring once their storage time has elapsed.
To add an access key, invoke the Add action, paste the value in the Access Key Id, and select the period you wish for the station to securely store the key value. It is best practice to only store the key
for the time in which it is required to configure the remote service in AWS.
