How to install AWS CLI
Hello Everyone
Welcome to CloudAffaire and this is Debjeet.
In the last blog series, we have discussed AWS Elastic Beanstalk service.
https://cloudaffaire.com/category/aws/elastic_beanstalk/
In this blog post, we will not start with a new service, instead will discuss AWS CLI.
What is AWS CLI?
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. With minimal configuration, you can start using functionality equivalent to AWS Management Console from the command prompt in your favorite terminal program. AWS CLI supports all the major operating systems and using AWS CLI you can administer all the IaaS (infrastructure as a service) services provided by AWS.
Next, we are going to install AWS CLI on windows OS. We have also given the installation procedure for other OS’s.
