In this AWS tutorial, we cover Cloudshell and Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI allows you to interact with and manage AWS resources and services using Command Line Command. Cloudshell is very similar to CLI but its browser-based.
SUMMARY:
Command Line Interface (CLI):
- AWS CLI allows you to interact with and manage AWS resources & services using command-line commands (as opposed to using the AWS Management Console)
- Can be installed on Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Upon installation you need to input your Access Keys which
are created in IAM
AWS CloudShell:
- AWS Cloud Shell is a browser-based alternative which allows you to easily manage your AWS resources & services
- It provides a pre-configured environment with the AWS CLI (you do not need to input your Access Keys)
- You can access Cloud Shell from the AWS Management Console with just a few clicks
