The official unified command line interface for Amazon Web Services, allowing users to manage AWS services from the terminal. This is version 1, which has entered maintenance mode in favor of AWS CLI v2.
Use cases
- manage aws resources from the terminal
- automate aws service operations in scripts
- configure aws credentials and profiles
- upload files to s3 from the command line
- control ec2 instances via cli
When to choose
- you need a pip-installable CLI on Python 3.10+
- you have legacy scripts built against AWS CLI v1
When to avoid
- you are starting fresh - use AWS CLI v2 instead
- you need long-term support, since v1 is in maintenance mode
