.-=Encaps=-.: AWS essentials - Step 1

2021-06-09

1. Create IAM user (we should not use AWS Root account for programmatic access to AWS - we will create corresponding IAM user instead)

2. Install AWS CLI - Command Line Interface

for Linux:

for Windows:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-windows.html#cliv2-windows-install

3. Set up AWS credentials

you may use default (us-east-1) region. I will use eu-central-1 for now.

4. Make sure your user is able to connect AWS resources - for example, let's examine S3 access

$ aws s3 mb s3://bucket-name-2021-06-09

and from AWS UI we see the bucket is created: bucket-name-2021-06-09

So, first step is done - we've created IAM user and confirmed it has access to AWS
