Welcome back, cloud enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the world of IAM programmatic access and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Buckle up, as we embark on a journey to harness the power of AWS from the command line.
IAM Programmatic Access – Unleash the Power! 💻🔓
IAM (Identity and Access Management) programmatic access is your ticket to AWS from the comfort of your terminal or system. No more clicking around; let's get things done with a few keystrokes.
Access Keys Galore! 🗝️:
Head to the AWS Console and navigate to IAM.
Select the user for whom you want programmatic access.
In the 'Security credentials' tab, create your AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key.
AWS CLI – Your Swiss Army Knife for AWS 🧰🔧
The AWS CLI is your all-in-one tool to manage AWS services. No need for multiple tools; this one does it all. Let's roll up our sleeves and get it installed and configured.
