113. How do you revoke leaked credentials?

In this episode, we discuss what to do if you accidentally leak your AWS credentials during a live stream. We explain the difference between temporary credentials and long-lived credentials, and how to revoke each type. For temporary credentials, we recommend using the AWS console to revoke sessions or creating an IAM policy to deny access. For long-lived credentials, you must deactivate and rotate the credentials. We also touch on using tools like HashiCorp Vault to manage credentials securely. 💰 SPONSORS 💰 AWS Bites is brought to you by fourTheorem, the AWS consulting partner that doesn’t suck.
