aws-configure:tldr:29062

aws-configure: Set the value of a configuration variable in a specific profile.
$ aws configure set ${name} ${value} --profile ${profile_name}
try on your machine

The given command is used to set a configuration value in the AWS CLI (Command Line Interface) for a specific profile. Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • aws configure set: It is the base command for modifying configuration settings in the AWS CLI.
  • ${name}: It represents a placeholder for the name of the configuration option you want to set. You should substitute this with the actual name of the option.
  • ${value}: It represents a placeholder for the value you want to set for the configuration option. You should substitute this with the actual value you wish to assign to the option.
  • --profile ${profile_name}: It denotes the profile for which you want to set the configuration option. You need to replace ${profile_name} with the name of the specific AWS profile on which you want to apply the configuration change.

To utilize this command, you would typically replace ${name} with the name of the desired configuration option (e.g., region, output, aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, etc.), ${value} with the corresponding value you want to set, and ${profile_name} with the name of the AWS profile you want to modify. For example:

aws configure set region us-west-2 --profile myprofile

This command would set the AWS region to us-west-2 for the AWS profile named myprofile.
