Launching Amazon CloudShell on the Console Toolbar

Amazon CloudShell is a browser-based, pre-authenticated shell that you can launch directly from the Amazon Web Services Management Console on the Console Toolbar. You can run Amazon CLI commands against services using your preferred shell (Bash, PowerShell, or Z shell).

You can launch CloudShell on the Console Toolbar using one of the following two methods:

  • Choose the CloudShell icon on the lower left of the console.

  • Choose the CloudShell icon on the console navigation bar.

For more information about this service, see the Amazon CloudShell User Guide.

For information about the Amazon Web Services Regions where Amazon CloudShell is available, see the Amazon Regional Services List. The selection of the Console Region is in sync with the CloudShell Region. If CloudShell isn't available in a selected Region, then CloudShell will operate in the nearest Region.
