Hi there,

Note that you need to create a config file at the ~/.aws/ directory:

~/.aws/config

And then specify your credentials in that configuration file:

[default]
aws_access_key_id=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
aws_secret_access_key=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

Note that you need to change the credentials accordingly with your own ones.

For more information, you could refer to the official docs here:

https://certbot-dns-route53.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Let me know how it goes!

Regards,

Bobby
