AWS CLI and SDK Cheat Sheet
This cheat sheet is based on the AWS Certified Developer Associate walk through by Andrew Brown. Originally I wrote down the cheat sheet from his presentation. However, I thought maybe others might have a use for the same cheat sheet in a searchable format. I really encourage you to watch his walk through over at YouTube.
- CLI - stands for Command Line Interface
- SDK - stands for Software Development Kit
- The AWS CLI lets you interact with AWS from anywhere by simply using a command line
- The AWS SDK is a set of API libraries that let you integrate AWS services into your applications
- Programmatic Access - must be enable per user via the IAM console to use CLI or SDK
- aws configure - command is used to setup your AWS credentials for the CLI
- The CLI is installed via a Python script
- Credentials get stored in a plain text file (whenever possible use roles instead of AWS credentials)
- The SDK is available for the following programming languages: C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, .NET, NodeJs, PHP, Python, Ruby
