Configure AWS Profile

When we want to deploy through locally or deploying through CDK. We need AWS CLI setup.

It is a very simple process to download the CLI and instantly connect to AWS.

Firstly we need to install AWS CLI through AWS.

Or follow the below steps

1. Download and run the AWS CLI MSI installer for Windows (64-bit):

   https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.msi. 

2. Alternatively, you can run the msiexec command to run the MSI installer.

   C:\> msiexec.exe /i https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.msi

   For various parameters that can be used with msiexec, see msiexec on the Microsoft Docs website.

3. To confirm the installation, open the Start menu, search for cmd to open a command prompt window, and at the command prompt use the aws --version command
   

   C:\> aws --version
   aws-cli/2.7.24 Python/3.8.8 Windows/10 exe/AMD64 prompt/off

For any errors check troubleshoot

We can now go ahead and execute the command in windows terminal

aws configure --profile preprod

Navigate to IAM -> Users

Select your user and navigate to Security Credentials

Look for Access Key Id and Security access key.

Access key ID: ABCDEF4GSTCD80DGHF9JI

Secret Access Key: A6CDrgj389fbrigrse35jksgkjs58kjsier47HI2

Default region name: us-east-1

Default output format: text

After setting up the profile, let's verify if we are able to connect to AWS.

Execute the following command

aws s3 ls --profile preprod

Verify that all the S3 buckets are listed with is available in the account.

You can setup multiple profiles based on the name.
