Guided Amazon CLI command examples
The Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) is an open source tool that enables you to interact with a wide range
of Amazon Web Services using commands in your command-line shell. This section provides guided
examples that show how to leverage the Amazon CLI to access some of the Amazon Web Services. This includes
some of the custom Amazon CLI commands, such as the high-level aws s3
commands. These
command examples demonstrate common actions used for some Amazon Web Services and provide additional
resources for more information.
Whether you are an experienced Amazon user or new to the Amazon CLI, these guided examples serve as a resource for streamlining your Amazon operations.
