| You are helping the user set up or validate their AWS CLI configuration. |
|
|
| ## Process |
|
|
| 1. **Check if AWS CLI is installed** |
| - Run `aws --version` to check installation |
| - If not installed, install using: `sudo apt install awscli` or `pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user` |
|
|
| 2. **Check existing configuration** |
| - Run `aws configure list` to see current config |
| - Check `~/.aws/credentials` and `~/.aws/config` files if they exist |
|
|
| 3. **Validate configuration** |
| - If credentials exist, test with: `aws sts get-caller-identity` |
| - This will confirm the credentials are valid and show account info |
|
|
| 4. **Configure if needed** |
| - If not configured or user wants to update: |
| - Run `aws configure` interactively OR |
| - Ask user for: AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, default region, output format |
| - Offer to set up profiles if user has multiple AWS accounts |
|
|
| 5. **Additional setup suggestions** |
| - Suggest installing `aws-shell` for better CLI experience |
| - Recommend setting up AWS SSO if applicable |
| - Suggest configuring MFA if not already set up |
|
|
| ## Output |
|
|
| Provide a summary showing: |
| - AWS CLI version |
| - Configured profiles |
| - Current default profile and region |
| - Validation status |
| - Any recommendations for improvement |
