Explanation

To use the AWS CLI (Command Line Interface), developers need AWS access keys which consist of:

Access Key ID
Secret Access Key

These credentials are required for programmatic access to AWS services through the CLI, SDKs, and APIs.

Why the other options are incorrect:

User name and password: Used for AWS Management Console login, not CLI access
AWS Systems Manager: A management service for operational data and automation, not for CLI authentication
Root password access: Root credentials provide full account access but are not the recommended method for CLI usage; IAM users with access keys are the secure approach

Best Practice:

Create IAM users with appropriate permissions
Generate access keys for those users
Use these access keys to configure the AWS CLI
Never use root credentials for daily operations
