aws-configure: Set the value of a specific configuration variable.
$ aws configure set ${name} ${value}
try on your machine
The command "aws configure set ${name} ${value}" is used to set or update a configuration value in the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Here's how it works:
- "aws configure" is the command to access and configure the AWS CLI settings.
- "set" is the subcommand used to indicate that you want to set or update a specific configuration value.
- "${name}" represents the configuration option you want to set. You need to replace "${name}" with the actual name of the configuration option.
- "${value}" represents the value you want to set for the specified configuration option. You need to replace "${value}" with the actual value you want to set.
For example, if you want to set the AWS Access Key ID, you would use the command "aws configure set aws_access_key_id MY_ACCESS_KEY". Here, "aws_access_key_id" is the configuration option name and "MY_ACCESS_KEY" is the value you want to set.
Using the "aws configure set" command allows you to conveniently update or set AWS CLI configuration values without manually editing the configuration files.
