Here are some notes from the Pluralsight course 'Automating AWS Operations with the AWS CLI'.
Installation and Configuration
- Useful to have AWS Tags on all of your resources (another video tutorial advises that it's better to have too many than too few).
- Backslashes '\' tell BASH that the command isn't complete yet, so allow the command to span multiple lines.
- Install here.
- Some commands used in tutorial can be found here.
- In a command prompt window use the aws --version command to confirm installation.
- Use command aws configure. You'll be asked for 4 items: Access Key, Secret Access Key, Default region name and output format.
- Default region: London is eu-west-2.
- Output format - 3 choices: JSON, table, and text.
AWS CLI Command Syntax
aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [parameters]
- aws help
- aws s3 help
Notes
- sync - to move contents of local directory to bucket
Good quick course to give overview of AWS CLI.
I'll probably dip into commands more as and when required, primarily from other online docs and guides.
