Misc

  • These notes were originally written 2018
  • There might be some relevant script stuff in cadogan/infra (PRIVATE)
  • We have two clis:
    • brew install awscli
    • After installing run this command: aws configure
      • It will ask for Profile
        • You can create separate profles, but if you don’t it will give you a default
        • If you have more than one profile: Export AWS_PROFILE=”[profile-name]”
      • less \~/.aws/config
      • Secret keys:
        • AWS => IAM => Users => Security Credentials => Access Key ID
          • Delete previous and add new one: Create access key – copy secret key
    • In general, it can be useful to use the command line
  • AWS CLI Documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html
