AWS China is the China-region deployment of Amazon Web Services, offering cloud infrastructure and platform services in the Beijing and Ningxia regions. It uses separate China-specific accounts, credentials, and service endpoints from other AWS regions.

2 integrations · REST · CLI

AWS China exposes region- and service-specific HTTPS APIs under `*.amazonaws.com.cn` plus the AWS CLI; API requests use AWS SigV4/SigV4a with AWS China credentials, and the CLI can use either access keys or IAM Identity Center login.

Credentials
AWS China programmatic credentials (access key ID + secret access key, optionally session token)compoundGet key

Sign up for an AWS China account via AWS China signup and create programmatic access credentials in IAM as described in Using Amazon security credentials for programmatic access. For long-term access, create an access key pair (aws_access_key_id + aws_secret_access_key). For temporary credentials, obtain short-term credentials that include aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, and aws_session_token. AWS signs API requests with SigV4/SigV4a using these values.

AWS IAM Identity Center session for CLIoauth2$ aws configure sso && aws sso login

Acquired by the CLI — running aws configure sso && aws sso login opens the auth flow and stores the credential.
