[ aws ]
Configure AWS CLI options. If this command is run with no arguments, you will be prompted for configuration values such as your AWS Access Key Id and you AWS Secret Access Key. You can configure a named profile using the --profile argument. If your config file does not exist (the default location is ~/.aws/config), the AWS CLI will create it for you. To keep an existing value, hit enter when prompted for the value. When you are prompted for information, the current value will be displayed in [brackets]. If the config item has no value, it be displayed as [None]. Note that the configure command only work with values from the config file. It does not use any configuration values from environment variables or the IAM role.
Note: the values you provide for the AWS Access Key ID and the AWS Secret Access Key will be written to the shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials).
The following configuration variables are supported in the config file:
