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.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
