Hello and welcome to this course, which will give you an introduction to the AWS Command Line Interface. 

Before we begin, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Alana Layton and I’m an AWS content creator here at Cloud Academy. Feel free to connect with me to ask any questions using the details shown on the screen. Alternatively, you can always get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an e-mail to support@cloudacademy.com where one of our Cloud experts will reply to your question.

This course has been created for those that are looking to get more familiar with the AWS Command Line Interface in order to spend less time in the AWS console, and more time automating operations. 

By the end of this course, you will be able to: 

• Install and configure the AWS Command Line Interface

• Manage CLI credential profiles

• Structure CLI commands 

• Better control the outputted response data 

• And use input functionality to make working with the CLI easier 

This is an introductory course, so you won’t need to have any prior knowledge about the AWS CLI. However, to get the most out of this course, you should have a good understanding of command line basics. Additionally, you will also need to understand some of the fundamental AWS services, such as Amazon EC2, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, and IAM. Familiarity with JSON and YAML will help as well to better understand some of the practical parts of the course. For more information on some of these services, check out the following courseware titled:  

• Compute Fundamentals for AWS
• Managing Access using IAM User Groups and Roles
• Linux Command Line Byte Session
