Systems manager execute script failure unable to locate credentials

Question

I have a few documents I created in system manager for aws:executeScript but all of them fail for the error 
nocredentialsError  - unable to locate credentials

Here is what one of my scripts looks like:
def script_handler(events, context):
import boto3
ec2= boto3.client('ec2')
response = ec2.describe_regions()
print('Regions:' , response['Regions'])

I do have my credentials file set up as 
[default]
region = "us-east-1"

output=json
aws_access_key_id = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
aws_secret_access_key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Obviously I have replaced the keys with Xs for confidentiality

How do I get systems manager to find the credentials so I can run my scripts.  Thanks in advance for your help I greatly appreciate it.

HI, ShamrockAws . Please follow this documentation https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html These must be helpful for your case.

Answer

ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY, and SESSION_TOKEN are variables that contain your access key, secret key, and optional session token. Note that the examples above do not have hard coded credentials. We do not recommend hard coding credentials in your source code.

So please configure this variable to resolve an issue with "NameErro".
