AWS CLI Cheatsheet

AWS CLI Cheatsheet

I heavily rely on CLI tools rather than GUI/Web interface. AWS CLI is a great tool to manage AWS resources across different accounts, regions and environments.

I have published a curated list of frequent AWS commands that might come handy. Feel free to star it, fork it or send pull request.

Tools Required

Disclaimer: All Resource, Account, ARN, Hostname etc are generated using Faker. They do not match any real user data.

Table of Contents

Pro Tip!

If you have multiple AWS Accounts, you can use bash alias like the following. So you no longer need to pass --profile to aws tool.

alias aws-prod="aws --profile work-prod"
alias aws-dev="aws --profile work-dev"
alias aws-self="aws --profile personal"
alias aws="aws --profile work-dev"

To format aws command output into tables, you can pipe output to column -t.

# aws ec2 describe-instances | jq ...
i-0f112d652ecf13dac c3.x2large fisher.com
i-0b3b5128445a332db t2.nano robinson.com
