Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides a wide range of services, including computing power, storage, and databases. Configuring AWS services on macOS is essential for developers and system administrators who use Apple environments. This article will guide you through the process of setting up AWS CLI (Command Line Interface) on macOS, which is crucial for managing AWS services from the terminal.

Examples:

1. Install AWS CLI on macOS:

   First, you need to install the AWS CLI. Open the Terminal application on your macOS and run the following command to install AWS CLI using Homebrew:

   brew install awscli

   Verify the installation by checking the AWS CLI version:

   aws --version

2. Configure AWS CLI:

   After installing AWS CLI, you need to configure it with your AWS credentials. Run the following command:

   aws configure

   You will be prompted to enter your AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Default Region Name, and Default Output Format. These credentials can be obtained from the AWS Management Console.

3. Create an S3 Bucket:

   To create an S3 bucket using AWS CLI, use the following command:

   aws s3 mb s3://your-bucket-name

   Replace your-bucket-name with a unique bucket name.

4. Upload a File to S3:

   To upload a file to your S3 bucket, use the following command:

   aws s3 cp /path/to/your/file.txt s3://your-bucket-name/

   Replace /path/to/your/file.txt with the path to your file and your-bucket-name with the name of your S3 bucket.

5. List S3 Buckets:

   To list all your S3 buckets, use the following command:

   aws s3 ls

6. Terminate an EC2 Instance:

   To terminate an EC2 instance, first, list your instances to get the Instance ID:

   aws ec2 describe-instances --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].InstanceId"

   Then, use the following command to terminate the instance:

   aws ec2 terminate-instances --instance-ids i-1234567890abcdef0

   Replace i-1234567890abcdef0 with your actual Instance ID.
