Hello @saurabhkumar_pa,

Here you can check out the documentation article about the access methods for AWS:

Set up Dynatrace Managed for AWS monitoring

As you can see there, we're recommending as a best practice use of temporary security credentials (IAM roles) instead of access keys and disabling any AWS account root user access keys.
