Day 42 - Exploring IAM Programmatic Access and AWS CLI Mastery! 🚀☁

🚀 Day 42 of the #90DaysOfDevOpsChallenge! Today, we're delving into IAM Programmatic access and AWS CLI to enhance our AWS skills. 💻☁️

💻 IAM Programmatic Access:

This feature allows you to interact with your AWS account programmatically, using AWS Access Keys and AWS Secret Access Keys. These keys serve as credentials that you can use to authenticate yourself when making requests to AWS services from your terminal or system. 🔑

🚀 AWS CLI (Command Line Interface):

The AWS CLI is a unified tool that enables you to manage your AWS services directly from the command line. It streamlines the process of interacting with AWS services, allowing you to automate tasks, configure resources, and access various AWS functionalities with ease. With AWS CLI v2, managing AWS resources becomes even more efficient, thanks to new features and improved installers. 🛠️
