AWS Access Keys, CLI and SDK Hands On

To check AWS version : aws –version

Create a Access Key:

• Select a user -> go to Security Credentials -> Create Access Key

Note: AWS recommends alternatives to each use case. Below are alternatives given for CLI

After creating Access Key, open terminal and configure aws using aws configure and then list users of iam using aws iam list-users

Note: the command aws iam list-users will only give output if user is assigned a permission policy or else it will give an error (Access Denied) when calling ListUsers operation.

The AWS CLI gives similar info as the AWS Management Console

Alternative to using terminal is CloudShell
