I have been standing up quite a bit of infrastructure in AWS lately using the AWS CLI. Here are some commands that I found helpful in a cheat sheet format. I'll show you how to create resources, query resources for information and how to update resources. Hopefully this will get you started quickly. The cheat sheet covers the following topics:
  • Setting up your environment.
  • Working with Virtual Private Clouds (VPC).
  • Working with Identity and Access Management (IAM).
  • Working with Route53.
  • Working with Elastic Load Balancers (ELB).
  • Working with SSH.
  • Working with DHCP.
  • Working with Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
  • Utilizing queries to gather information.
