AWS CLI

Command-line interface for administering AWS services through authenticated API requests.

Key points

It is an access method; architecture decisions concern credentials, permissions, and automation rather than command syntax.

Best-known use cases

Automate repeatable AWS administration from scripts or terminals.

Key takeaway

Recognize the CLI as an AWS access method, not an architecture service.
