The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is a unified tool to manage AWS services from the command line. With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services and automate them through scripts. AWS CLI v2 supports all AWS services with auto-completion, AWS SSO, and improved performance. It is open-source, available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and is the official CLI for Amazon Web Services.
