This course is designed to help students and developers get started with using AWSCommand Line Interface.(CLI). If your prior experience with AWShas solely been AWS' web console, using the CLIis a different way of using your AWSaccount. Using the command line interface is a critical skill for any AWSprofessional.

The AWS Command Line Interface (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 automate your infrastructurethrough scripts.

Learning the command line will give you another perspective on the AWSservices and may evenshed light on concepts that you are unclear with. The AWSdeveloper associate exam objective mentions "Ability to use theAWSservice APIs,AWS Command LineInterface (CLI), and softwaredeveloperkits (SDKs) to write applications"Learning the commandline is one of the big aspects of the AWSDevOps Pro exam as well.

After this course you can begin making calls to your AWS services from the command line like:

$aws ec2 describe-instances

$aws s3 ls

$aws s3 sync . s3://mybucketname

$ aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids i-123abcdefg

and moreadvanced things like creating Lambda functions, creating CloudFormation stacks etc.

What you will get with this course:

1. A catalog of videos/labs on how to use the AWSCLI

2. Future updates on various new topics

3. Ability to ask questions on the Discussion board
