Learning AWS CLI

• AWS CLI Requires a programmatic login which has access key and secret access key
• Lets create a user and get a programmatice access key and secret access key
• Ensure AWS CLI is installed.
• Now lets configure aws cli to use access key and secret key, lets set us-west-2 as default region

aws configure

• to verify connectivity aws s3 ls
• AWS CLI Command pattern

aws <service>  <operation> [parameters] [--options]

• Where
  • service is AWS Service name (ec2, s3, iam …)
  • operation are actions
  • parameters (inputs)
  • options such as –region, –profie, –query, –output
• listing resources
• Pattern aws <service> list-<resources> or aws <service> describe-<resources>
• Examples
  • aws s3 ls list s3 buckets
  • aws ec2 describe-instances list ec2 instances
  • aws iam list-users list iam users
• Creating resources
• Pattern aws <service> create-<resources> [parameters] [--options]
• Examples
  • aws s3api create-bucket --bucket test-bucket --region us-west-2
  • aws iam create-user --user-name cloud-user
• Deleting resources
• Pattern aws <service> delete-<resources> --resource-id or aws <service> terminate-<resources> --resource-id
• Examples
  • aws s3api delete-bucket --bucket test-bucket
  • aws ec2 terminate-instances --instance-id i-123456
• For S3 we have uploading & downloading

# copy
aws s3 cp
