aws-history: Display events related to a specific command given a command ID.
$ aws history show ${command_id}
try on your machine

The command aws history show ${command_id} is used to display the details of a specific command that was previously executed with the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).

Here's a breakdown of the command and its elements:

  • aws : This is the command to invoke the AWS CLI.
  • history : This is a sub-command used to manage and view a list of previously executed commands.
  • show : This is a sub-command used to display the details of a specific command.
  • ${command_id} : This is a placeholder representing the unique identifier of the command that you want to view the details of. Replace ${command_id} with the actual command ID you want to check.

When executing this command, the specified ${command_id} will be replaced with the actual ID of the command you want to view, and the AWS CLI will retrieve and display the details of that command, including its execution time, output, status, etc.
