Introduction to AWS Command Line
Interface
• AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a tool for managing workflows, automating tasks,
and controlling system processes through text-based commands.
AWS CLI
Architecture
• AWS CLI is built on a modular
architecture, designed for flexibility,
allowing users to easily integrate
plugins and external systems.
Installation of AWS
CLI
• To install AWS CLI, download the package from the
official website and follow the provided instructions
for various operating systems.
Key Features of AWS CLI
• The key features include automation, task scheduling, system monitoring, and support
for scripting languages like Python and Shell.
• There are three main foundations for the CLI framework which are:
• Efficiency
• Remote Access
• Troubleshooting
AWS CLI
Commands
• Common commands: AWS-init, AWS-
configure, AWS-deploy, AWS-status, AWS-
stop. These help manage the system
efficiently.
AWS CLI: Use Cases
• System administration
• System administrators use CLIs to fix system-related issues, check the operating system configurations, and
change or update configurations on remote machines. They can run commands and control systems at scale.
• Software development
• Software developers regularly use CLI tools to save time and streamline their workflows. For instance, they
frequently access third-party libraries while working. If they add references to these libraries using a CLI, they
can do so with one inserted command instead of leaving instructions to search for the library using the GUI. This
approach saves time for both the developer and future users that interact with the system.
• Cloud computing
• In cloud environments, a CLI is essential for managing virtual machines, containers, cloud services, and server
configurations. Developers and administrators use CLIs to interact with cloud providers' APIs, automate resource
provisioning, and deploy applications.
• Network management
• Network administrators use CLIs to configure routers, switches, firewalls, and other networking devices. CLI tools
help when you want to monitor network traffic, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and implement security policies.
Penetration testers also use command line tools for vulnerability scanning, network reconnaissance, and
incident analysis
Troubleshooting in AWS CLI
• Troubleshooting involves log checking, command debugging, and ensuring the right
environment configurations for smooth operations.
Advantages of AWS CLI
• AWS CLI advantages: Faster execution, reduced overhead, lightweight processes,
improved scalability, and enhanced control.
