AWS CLI Crash Course

Understand the basics of AWS CLI and install it on your system.

The Educative platform is enough to take you through the course, and you can learn all the concepts quickly. For this course, it’s best to utilize the code playground provided on the platform. It’s safe and easy to use. However, you can also install the AWS CLI locally on your machine.

AWS provides a simple installer for setting up the CLI on your local machine, depending on your operating system. You can install it and run the three configure commands above. That will set up the AWS CLI for you.

But again, for this course, it’s best to utilize the code playground.

Linux
