The AWS CLI is a unified tool to manage your AWS services from a terminal session on your own client.
With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts.

  2. Install AWS CLI
  3. Generate Access key ID and Secret Access Key from IAM

The machine/laptop can’t configure directly  in cmd prompt.
If you try to configure AWS CLI  it throws an error.
We can get error like this ” aws is not recognized as an internal or external command.”

To configure AWS  CLI , we do have AWS Command Line Interface Package.
