aws: Use auto prompt to help with a command.
$ aws iam create-user --cli-auto-prompt
try on your machine

The command "aws iam create-user --cli-auto-prompt" is used to create a user in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).

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

  • "aws" is the CLI command to interact with AWS services.
  • "iam" specifies the IAM service in AWS.
  • "create-user" is the specific command to create a user in IAM.
  • "--cli-auto-prompt" is an option that prompts the user to enter values for the required parameters interactively.

When you run this command, AWS CLI will prompt you for the necessary information to create a user, such as the user's name. You need to provide the required details as prompted.

Once the command executes successfully, a new user will be created in IAM with the specified configuration. The user can then be assigned permissions and access keys to interact with AWS resources.

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.
