   Click here for Event Engine instructions

   1. Obtain your hash from the event lead and visit https://dashboard.eventengine.run/login
   2. Login in using your hash and click on the use console button
   3. A popover will appear with your AWS console access federation link and AWS CLI profile links
   4. Open up your AWS profile folder on your computer ( ~/.aws/ for Mac and Linux and C:\Users\USERNAME \.aws\ for windows)
   5. If you don't have a AWS profile folder you need to create it and add in two files. One file called credentials and config.
   6. Edit your credentials file by adding in a new profile like so (copying the values from the popover in event engine). Please note that the credentials file is all lowercase (in Event Engine it is uppercase).

      [ee]
      aws_access_key_id = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      aws_secret_access_key = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      aws_session_token = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      

   7. Edit your config file by adding default values (changing your region to the assigned region of your event)

      [ee]
      region = us-west-2
      output = json
      

   8. When running amplify init choose the newly created profile called ee (Note: please don't select default)
