AWS CLI is not directly used for this lab, however it makes configuration of the AWS IAM credentials easier, and is useful for testing and general use.
aws configure
to configure your credentials. Note the user will require access to the IAM service.A best practice is to enforce the use of MFA, so if you misplace your AWS Management console password and/or access/secret key, there is nothing anyone can do without your MFA credentials.
