This section explains our recommendations around credentials to provide the best experience with the AWS Copilot CLI.
AWS Copilot uses AWS credentials to access the AWS API, store and look up an [application's metadata](concepts/applications.en.md), and deploy and operate an application's workloads.

You can learn more on how to configure AWS credentials in the [AWS CLI's documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-quickstart.html).

## Application credentials
Copilot uses the AWS credentials from the [default credential provider chain](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v1/developer-guide/configuring-sdk.html#specifying-credentials) to store and look up your [application's metadata](concepts/applications.en.md): which services and environments belong to it.
