Posted on:
Dec 15, 2015
Earlier this year at AWS re:Invent, we announced the aws-shell project, which provides a number of convenience and productivity features to users of the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). The project is now available on GitHub (https://github.com/awslabs/aws-shell) and PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aws-shell). The current list of key features include:
- Auto-completion of commands and options
- Auto-completion of resource identifiers (Amazon EC2 instance IDs, Amazon SQS queue URLs, Amazon SNS topic names, etc.)
- In-line documentation for commands and options
- Ability to execute regular shell commands without exiting
- Exporting executed commands to a text editor
