About AWS CLI
The AWS Command Line Interface is a single tool for controlling Amazon Web Services from a terminal. It covers what the browser-based AWS Management Console does, so tasks can be run by hand or automated in scripts, including uploading, downloading and syncing files with S3.
You can sign in with existing console credentials using the aws login command, and help is built in at the level of the tool, each service and each operation. It suits developers and administrators who work with AWS regularly.
