AWS Command Line Interface
The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is an open source tool that enables you to interact with AWS services using commands in your command-line shell.
Whatever we do graphically we can do through command line interface.
We can manage entire AWS through command line interface.
If you want to logging to your AWS account through console we need to give username and password.
if you want to logging to your AWS account through CLI we need to give access key ID and secret access key.
Access key is like a username and secret access key is like a password.
By default these key are deleted by AWS so, we need to generate the keys manually.
First, we need to AWS Console page by using below link.
https://aws.amazon.com/console/
Click on sign in to Console button.
Logging to aws account
Provide username and password then click on sign in.
Enter to AWS Management Console
We can see the AWS Management Console Dashboard.
Generate Access key and Secret key
Go to services and click on IAM under security, identity & Compliance.
In the IAM dashboard we can see “Delete your root access keys” means these are deleted by AWS default.
we need to generate these keys manually ,so we click on Manage Security Credentials.
Go to Access keys (access key ID and secret access key) and click on Create New Access Key.
The Access Key and Secret Access Key has been created successfully.
We can download keys by clicking on Download Key File.
Go to physical location and see the root.Key.
The machine/laptop can’t support directly to run AWS commands in cmd prompt.
If you want run anything regarding to AWS commands it throw an error.
It will show one error ” aws is not recognized as an internal or external command.”
To run aws commands in the CLI , we do have AWS Command Line Interface Package.
Download and Install AWS Command Line Interface Package
We need to install one package like AWS CLI then only it will accept to run AWS commands in cmd prompt
Download CLI Package
