[Web Bug] - AWS Quickstart: Provide basic 'credentials' debugging help

[mjbright]

Nice quickstart overall. But I was getting no S3 bucket created (AWS credentials errors due to a syntax error in my credentials.txt file).

Whilst this was my error, I think it would be useful to give a little help.

When attempting to create the S3 bucket, check for the creation of the bucket by

• aws s3 ls --region us-east-2 # specifying the appropriate region

Check for any events associated with the mirror resource:

• kubectl describe -n crossplane-system bucket

So finally I realised that there must be something wrong with my credentials.txt file itself.

I removed some empty lines, but I think it was the single quotes around the actual key which caused problems initially. Once I made these changes and recreated the secret, I created my first crossplane resource

Glad you got to a successful resource creation @mjbright!

I see a link in that page to https://docs.upbound.io/providers/provider-aws/authentication/, do you see some useful information there that might have helped? looks mostly related to all the multiple options of auth that are available, so perhaps not what you were looking for exactly 🤔
