What is the naming format for the user name generated for CodeCommit SSH keys?

  1. CODExxxxxxx

  2. APKxxxxxxx

  3. USERxxxxxxx

  4. SSHxxxxxxx

The correct answer is: APKxxxxxxx

The user name format for CodeCommit SSH keys is specifically structured to include the prefix "APK" followed by a sequence of characters. This naming convention allows for consistent identification of SSH keys that are used in conjunction with AWS CodeCommit, which is a Git-compatible source control service that allows teams to manage their source code in the cloud. The "APK" prefix indicates that the key is associated with an AWS CodeCommit repository and helps distinguish it from other types of keys or users in the AWS ecosystem. This clarity is important for managing permissions and ensuring that keys are used appropriately within the context of AWS services. The other naming formats mentioned do not correspond to the established patterns used by CodeCommit for SSH keys. Each of those prefixes could pertain to different services or sizing conventions, but only "APK" aligns with the AWS standards for CodeCommit SSH key generation.
