AccessKey Management

An AccessKey can either be a local AccessKey or a third-party AccessKey.
  • In ZStack Private Cloud , a local AccessKey (which contains an AccessKey ID and an AccessKey Secret) is a security credential authorized by the Cloud to third-party users. With the authorized AccessKey, third-party users can access cloud resources by calling ZStack Private Cloud APIs. We recommend that you keep your AccessKey confidential to maintain securities.
  • A third-party AccessKey (which contains an AccessKey ID and an AccessKey Secret) is a security credential authorized by third-party users to the Cloud. With the authorized AccessKey, the Cloud can access cloud resources of the third-party users by calling APIs. Third-party AccessKey must also be kept confidential to maintain security.

AccessKey is a key factor for ZStack Private Cloud to perform security authentication on API requests. We recommend that you keep your AccessKey confidential to maintain securities. If your AccessKey is at risk of leakage, we recommend that you delete it in time and create a new one.
