AWS Command Line Interface
The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts.
AWS CloudShell
AWS CloudShell is a browser-based shell environment that enables users to manage, explore, and interact with AWS resources directly from the AWS Management Console. It provides immediate access to a pre-authenticated Amazon Linux 2 environment with the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) and other essential development tools pre-installed. This eliminates the need for local installation or configuration, streamlining cloud resource management and development workflows.
