You can transfer your files to and from AWS CodeCommit using HTTPS or SSH.

Repositories are automatically encrypted at rest through AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) using customer-specific keys.

Question 5

Authentication and Access Control

Answer 5

AWS CodeCommit uses AWS Identity and Access Management to control and monitor who can access data as well as how, when, and where they can access it.

IAM supports CodeCommit with three types of credentials:

• Git credentials, an IAM -generated user name and password pair you can use to communicate with CodeCommit repositories over HTTPS.
• SSH keys, a locally generated public-private key pair that you can associate with your IAM user to communicate with CodeCommit repositories over SSH.
• AWS access keys, which you can use with the credential helper included with the AWS CLI to communicate with CodeCommit repositories over HTTPS.
