        string
         | 
      
        
        AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used.
        
       aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key  | 
     |
| aws_secret_key
        
        string
         |

        Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results.

Notes
Note
- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence 
AWS_URLorEC2_URL,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDorAWS_ACCESS_KEYorEC2_ACCESS_KEY,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYorAWS_SECRET_KEYorEC2_SECRET_KEY,AWS_SECURITY_TOKENorEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN,AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGION - Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
 AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGIONcan be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
