aws-cognito-idp: List all user pools.
$ aws cognito-idp list-user-pools --max-results ${10}
try on your machine

The command "aws cognito-idp list-user-pools --max-results ${10}" is used to list all user pools in a Cognito identity pool. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "aws" refers to the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), which is a unified command-line tool for interacting with various AWS services.
  • "cognito-idp" is the AWS CLI command for working with Amazon Cognito User Pools, which provide user directory services for user registration, authentication, and account recovery.
  • "list-user-pools" is the specific command that retrieves a list of user pools in the specified Cognito identity pool.
  • "--max-results" is an optional parameter that allows you to define the maximum number of results to be returned in the command's output. In this case, "${10}" is a placeholder for the value of 10, which means the command will return at most 10 user pools.
    • If you replace "${10}" with an actual number, like "--max-results 5", it will limit the output to 5 user pools.
    • If you omit the "--max-results" parameter, the command will return all user pools by default.

Overall, this command allows you to retrieve a list of user pools in your Cognito identity pool, with an optional maximum limit on the number of results.
