Note
The AWS CLI version 1 is not the latest version of the AWS CLI. Some features introduced
in AWS CLI version 2 are not backported to version 1 and you must upgrade to access those
features. There are some "breaking" changes from version 1 that might require you to change
your scripts. For a list of breaking changes in version 2, see Breaking changes in the AWS
CLI version 2 User Guide.

The 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, the AWS CLI enables you to start running commands that implement
functionality equivalent to that provided by the browser-based AWS Management Console
from the command prompt in your terminal program:

 Linux shells – Use common shell programs such as bash, zsh, and tcsh to run commands in
Linux or macOS.
 Windows command line – On Windows, run commands at the Windows command prompt
or in PowerShell.
 Remotely – Run commands on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances
through a remote terminal program such as PuTTY or SSH, or with AWS Systems Manager.

All IaaS (infrastructure as a service) AWS administration, management, and access functions
in the AWS Management Console are available in the AWS API and AWS CLI. New AWS
IaaS features and services provide full AWS Management Console functionality through the
API and CLI at launch or within 180 days of launch.

The AWS CLI provides direct access to the public APIs of AWS services. You can explore a
service's capabilities with the AWS CLI, and develop shell scripts to manage your resources.
In addition to the low-level, API-equivalent commands, several AWS services provide
customizations for the AWS CLI. Customizations can include higher-level commands that
simplify using a service with a complex API.

About AWS CLI version 1


The AWS CLI version 1 is the original AWS CLI, and we continue to support it. However,
major new features that are introduced in the AWS CLI version 2 might not be backported to
the AWS CLI version 1. To use those features, you must install the AWS CLI version 2. The
AWS CLI version 1 is built using the SDK for Python, and therefore requires you to install a
compatible version of Python.

To install the AWS CLI version 1, see Install, update, and uninstall the AWS CLI.

To check the currently installed version, use the following command:

$ aws --version

aws-cli/1.32.65 Python/3.11.6 Linux/5.10.205-195.807.amzn2.x86_64


botocore/1.18.6

For version history, see the AWS CLI version 1 Changelog on GitHub.

Maintenance and support for SDK major versions


For information about maintenance and support for SDK major versions and their underlying
dependencies, see the following in the AWS SDKs and Tools Reference Guide:

 AWS SDKs and tools maintenance policy


 AWS SDKs and tools version support matrix

About Amazon Web Services


Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a collection of digital infrastructure services that developers
can leverage when developing their applications. The services include computing, storage,
database, and application synchronization (messaging and queuing). AWS uses a pay-as-you-
go service model. You are charged only for the services that you—or your applications—use.
Also, to make AWS more approachable as a platform for prototyping and experimentation,
AWS offers a free usage tier. On this tier, services are free below a certain level of usage. For
more information about AWS costs and the Free Tier, see AWS Free Tier. To obtain an AWS
account, open the AWS home page and then choose Create an AWS Account.
