Using AWS Credentials in a Dev Container

This project aims to provide you an example of how to use AWS credentials when developing in a Dev Containers.

I have written an article about it and you can find it at https://theindiecoder/posts/use-aws-credentials-in-a-dev-container/.

Prerequisites

Whether you are a macOS user or a Windows user, you need to have the following installed:

1. Visual Studio Code
2. VS Code Dev Containers extension
3. Docker Desktop
4. AWS credentials configured on your local machine.

I have prepared this guide as a macOS user, so I have not tried running Dev Containers on Windows or Linux. If you are a Windows or Linux user, please refer to the Visual Studio Code documentation for installation instructions.
