AWS CLI installation

Official documentation on how to install the AWS CLI:  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html

Since the~/bin directory exists in the PATH variable, it is a good idea to put the “aws” binary in that directory.
With the “-i” key, we also specify the directory where everything else needed to run the application will be installed.

mkdir -p ~/bin
cd ~/tmp
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
aws/install -b ${HOME}/bin -i ${HOME}/aws
rm -rf ~/tmp/aws

In order to associate this newly installed utility with a specific AWS account, you should run the command:

aws configure

It prompts 4 questions:

• AWS Access Key ID
• AWS Secret Access Key
• Default region name (can be left with default value “None”)
• Default output format (can be left with default value “None”)

The entered values are stored in ~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config files and can be manually updated/changed later.

Here you can find more detailed information about configuration:

There is a variety of ways to verify if the integration is working and if the AWS CLI utility is correctly configured and able to log in, but one of them is, e.g. , the command:

aws iam list-users

Assuming some users are created on the AWS side, the output will look similar to:
