The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is an open source tool that enables you to interact with a wide range
of AWS services using commands in your command-line shell. This section provides guided
examples that show how to leverage the AWS CLI to access some of the AWS services. This includes
some of the custom AWS CLI commands, such as the high-level aws s3 commands. These
command examples demonstrate common actions used for some AWS services and provide additional
resources for more information.
Whether you are an experienced AWS user or new to the AWS CLI, these guided examples serve as a resource for streamlining your AWS operations.
For a complete reference of all the available commands for each AWS service, see the AWS CLI reference guide. Additionally, you can utilize the built-in command line help to explore the array of AWS services, commands, options, and features in the AWS CLI.
For more command examples that are not available in this section, see the AWS CLI command examples section. These are open source
command examples that are also available in the
AWS CLI reference
guide.
Command examples are hosted in the AWS CLI
