Setting Up AWS Config with the AWS CLI

The AWS CLI is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and use scripts to automate them. For more information about the AWS CLI and for instructions on installing the AWS CLI tools, see the following in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.

If necessary, enter aws configure to configure the AWS CLI to use an AWS Region where AWS Config is available.
