Why the Name Change?

The project has been renamed from AWS Manager to AethrOps to better align with a modern, unique identity.
Additionally, the previous name conflicted with AWS branding guidelines, which prohibit naming third-party tools in a way that implies official AWS affiliation.

📘 Documentation & Guides
We will be adding detailed documentation and step-by-step guides very soon to help users get started and explore advanced features.

🔑 Getting Started – AWS Credentials Setup

To use AethrOps, you'll need AWS Access Keys. Follow the steps below to generate and configure them.

Step 1: Create an IAM User (if you don’t have one)

  1. Log in to the AWS Management Console
  2. Navigate to IAM → Users → Create user
  3. Enter a username and click Next
  4. Attach required policies
    • Example: AdministratorAccess (full access)
    • Or specific policies for limited access
  5. Click Create user

Step 2: Generate Access Keys

  1. Go to IAM → Users → Select your user
  2. Open the Security credentials tab
  3. Scroll to Access keys → Click Create access key
  4. Select Application running outside AWS → Click Next
  5. (Optional) Add a description → Click Create access key

⚠️ Important:
Copy both keys immediately. The Secret Access Key is shown only once.

Step 3: Configure AethrOps

  1. Open the AethrOps application
  2. When prompted, enter your AWS credentials:
    • Access Key ID: 20-character Access Key ID
    • Secret Access Key: 40-character Secret Access Key
    • Region: Preferred AWS region (e.g., us-east-1)
  3. Tap Save

🎉 You’re now ready to manage your AWS resources!
