AWS CLI Commands

We can use commands to perform various operations on an AWS account via AWS CLI (Command Line Interface).  The data for each page on the AWS console can be obtained via a corresponding cli command

Pre-requisites to use AWS CLI Commands:

• Make sure AWS CLI is installed on the system
• Make sure that AWS is configured properly via "aws configure" command            

aws configure set aws_access_key_id {ACCESS_KEY_ID}
aws configure set aws_secret_access_key {SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}
aws configure set aws_session_token {SESSION_TOKEN}

Note* To generate access key id and secret access key, please read the blog https://anshulsood2006.blogspot.com/2023/04/generating-access-key-id-and-secret.html
