  • They include tools for continuous integration, continuous delivery, infrastructure as code, SDKs, CLI, IDEs, communication and collaboration, and more
  • They enable you to automate tasks, increase productivity, monitor operations, and follow best practices for DevOps on AWS

AWS API

  • AWS API is the application programming interface that allows you to interact with AWS services programmatically
  • You can use the AWS API to perform actions such as creating resources, managing configurations, invoking functions, and retrieving data
  • You can access the AWS API using various methods, such as HTTP requests, SDKs, CLI, or AWS Tools for PowerShell

AWS Management Console

  • AWS Management Console is a web-based graphical user interface that allows you to access and manage AWS services
  • You can use the AWS Management Console to create and configure resources, monitor performance and status, view logs and metrics, and launch wizards and templates
  • You can also customize the AWS Management Console by creating dashboards, shortcuts, and groups for your frequently used services and resources

Service Console

  • Service Console is a web-based graphical user interface that allows you to access and manage a specific AWS service
  • You can use the Service Console to perform service-specific tasks, such as creating buckets in Amazon S3, launching instances in Amazon EC2, or deploying applications in AWS Elastic Beanstalk
  • You can access the Service Console from the AWS Management Console by clicking on the service name or icon

AWS Account ID

  • AWS Account ID is a unique identifier that is assigned to your AWS account when you sign up for AWS
  • You can use your AWS Account ID to identify yourself when accessing AWS services or resources
  • You can find your AWS Account ID in the AWS Management Console by clicking on your account name in the navigation bar and selecting My Account

AWS Tools for PowerShell

  • AWS Tools for PowerShell is a set of modules that allow you to manage AWS services and resources using PowerShell commands and scripts
  • You can use AWS Tools for PowerShell to perform tasks such as creating stacks in AWS CloudFormation, uploading files to Amazon S3, or invoking Lambda functions
  • You can install AWS Tools for PowerShell using the MSI installer or the Install-Module cmdlet

Amazon Resource Names

  • Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) are identifiers that uniquely identify AWS resources across all regions and accounts
  • You can use ARNs to specify resources when performing actions using the AWS API, SDKs, CLI, or other tools
  • ARNs have the following format: arn:partition:service:region:account-id:resource-id or arn:partition:service:region:account-id:resource-type/resource-id or arn:partition:service:region:account-id:resource-type:resource-id

AWS CLI

  • AWS CLI is a command-line tool that allows you to interact with AWS services using commands in your terminal or shell
  • You can use the AWS CLI to perform tasks such as launching instances in Amazon EC2, creating tables in Amazon DynamoDB, or copying objects in Amazon S3
  • You can install the AWS CLI using pip (Python package manager) or a bundled installer for Windows, Linux, or macOS

AWS SDK

  • AWS SDK is a set of libraries that allow you to develop applications using various programming languages that interact with AWS services programmatically
  • You can use the AWS SDK to perform tasks such as sending messages to Amazon SQS, uploading images to Amazon Rekognition, or streaming data to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
  • You can install the AWS SDK using various methods depending on your programming language of choice, such as npm (Node.js package manager), Maven (Java build tool), or NuGet (.NET package manager)

AWS CloudShell

  • AWS CloudShell is a browser-based shell environment that allows you to run commands and scripts using the AWS CLI or SDKs without installing them on your local machine
  • You can use AWS CloudShell to perform tasks such as exploring your resources, testing your code, or troubleshooting issues
  • You can access AWS CloudShell from the AWS Management Console by clicking on the CloudShell icon in the navigation bar

AWS CloudFormation

  • AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows you to model and provision your infrastructure and applications using code templates called stacks
  • You can use AWS CloudFormation to automate the creation and management of your resources across multiple regions and accounts
  • You can create stacks using JSON or YAML files or using the AWS CloudFormation Designer graphical tool

AWS CDK

  • AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) is a framework that allows you to define your infrastructure and applications using familiar programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, Java, or C#
  • You can use AWS CDK to synthesize your code into CloudFormation templates and deploy them using the CDK CLI or other tools
  • You can also use constructs from the CDK library or create your own reusable components to simplify your development process

AWS Toolkit for VSCode

  • AWS Toolkit for VSCode is an extension that allows you to integrate your development environment with various AWS services and tools
  • You can use the AWS Toolkit for VSCode to perform tasks such as creating Lambda functions, debugging your code locally or remotely, deploying your applications using SAM (Serverless Application Model), or exploring your resources
  • You can install the AWS Toolkit for VSCode from the Visual Studio Marketplace or from within VSCode

Access Keys

  • Access Keys are credentials that consist of an access key ID and a secret access key that allow you to access and manage your resources on AWS programmatically
  • You can use Access Keys when using the API, SDKs, CLI, or other tools that require authentication
  • You can create and manage Access Keys from the IAM (Identity and Access Management) console or using IAM APIs

AWS Documentation

  • AWS Documentation is a collection of guides, references, tutorials, samples, and other resources that help you learn about and use various AWS services and tools
  • You can access the AWS Documentation from the website https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ or from within some of the tools such as the Management Console or VSCode
  • You can also contribute to the improvement of the documentation by providing feedback or submitting pull requests on GitHub
