In the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, click the Profile icon in the top-right corner, and select User Settings.
 
Click Customer Secret Keys, and then click Generate Secret Key.
 
Give the key a meaningful name (for example, s3fs-access), and then click Generate Secret Key.
 
Copy and save the secret key because it won't be shown again.
 
The S3 credentials are created by using an access key and the secret key. The access key is displayed in the Customer Secret Keys area of the Console.
