aws-configure: Display the value from a specific configuration variable.
$ aws configure get ${name}
try on your machine

The aws configure get ${name} command is used to retrieve a specific value from the configuration settings of the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Here's how it works:

  • aws configure: This is the base command to interact with the AWS CLI configuration.
  • get: This sub-command is used to retrieve a specific value from the configuration.
  • ${name}: This is a placeholder representing the name of the configuration value to be retrieved.

To use this command, you would replace ${name} with the actual name of the configuration value you want to retrieve. For example, if you want to retrieve the AWS access key id, you would run aws configure get aws_access_key_id. Similarly, if you want to retrieve the default region, you would run aws configure get default.region.

This command can be helpful if you need to access and use specific values from your AWS CLI configuration in scripts or other automation tasks.
