Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a versatile and powerful cloud services platform. To manage AWS services efficiently via the Command Line Interface (CLI), you need to set up the AWS CLI by creating access keys for an IAM User. Here is a step-by-step guide to facilitate this process for you.
Step 1: Log in to the AWS Management Console
Step 2: Select an IAM User
Step 3: Create an Access Key
Step 4: Configure the Access Key in the CLI
Step 5: Enter Tags (if necessary)
Step 6: Download the .csv File
Step 7: Complete Key Creation
Important Note: An access key is sensitive data and should be kept secure. Store the .csv file carefully and do not share it with untrusted individuals.
Following these steps makes creating and configuring the AWS CLI simple, enabling flexible management of AWS resources via the CLI.
