In this article, I wanna introduce the AWS CLI,.. Join along with me and explore the AWS Services using AWS CLI …

Prerequisites :

📌 Install the CLI Software of AWS in Linux,..

$ curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip" 
$ unzip awscliv2.zip 
$ sudo ./aws/install

You can go through the website for more detail… Click HERE …

📌 After installing software, check

$ aws --version

U will see similar output …

📌 Now configure the aws in your system … For this, you need to create IAM user in your AWS account … First login to your account, And go to IAM Service. Now create a new user by clicking on “ Add User ”

Download the credentials file into your system,..

📌 Now run the below command :

$ aws configure

Now copy the access key ID and secret access key from credentials file which u have downloaded and paste one by one into console output …

Creating Key-Pair …

$ aws ec2 create-key-pair — key-name cli-key — output text > cli-key.pem

U can also check using AWS webUI . 👇

Creating Security group …

$ aws ec2 create-security-group --group-name task-cli --description allow-ssh-icmp

check using AWS webUI . 👇

Now create rules which allows “SSH” and “ICMP”

$ aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress — group-name task-cli — protocol icmp — port -1 — cidr 0.0.0.0/0
$ aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress — group-name task-cli — protocol tcp— port 22— cidr 0.0.0.0/0

Launching new instance…

$ aws ec2 run-instances \
> --instance-type <instance-type>  \   # ex: t2.micro
> --image-id <image-id> \   # ex: ami-0e306788ff2473ccb
> --count 1 \
> --security-groups <name of the SG>\  # ex: task-cli

Creating EBS Volume…

$ aws ec2 create-volume \
> --volume-type gp2 \
> --size 1 \
> --availability-zone ap-south-1a

U will see the volume with available state . 👇

Attaching EBS Volume

Now attach this EBS volume to the instance which we have created before,..

$ aws ec2 attach-volume \
> --volume-id <volume-id>  \  # ex: vol-0e035469e737e8761
> --instance-id <instance-id>  \  # ex: i-015c98656881da46b
> --device /dev/xvdh
