AWS CLI and Tools for AWS European Sovereign Cloud

AWS provides several command line tools to help you build and manage your applications. This topic describes how the implementation of the AWS command line tools are different for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region.

The AWS SDKs and Tools Reference Guide contains information on the configuration, settings, authentication, and other foundational concepts common amongst AWS SDKs and Tools.

AWS CLI

The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is a cross-service command line tool to manage your AWS services. The AWS CLI is supported on Windows, Linux, OS X, or Unix.

Note

If you’re using Amazon Linux 2 AMI the AWS CLI is already installed and configured.

For more information, see the Readme file included with the AWS CLI installer.

AWS Tools for PowerShell

The AWS Tools for PowerShell enable you to manage your AWS resources with PowerShell tools similar to those you use to manage your operating system environment.

Note

If you are using a Windows AMI dated October 2015 (2015.10.*) or later, the AWS Tools for PowerShell are already installed and configured.

To use the AWS Tools for PowerShell in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region, you must set tool credentials. To specify a default region, you can add Set-DefaultAWSRegion to your profile or specify the -Region parameter for all cmdlets. Use the appropriate {aws-region} and endpoint for your resources. For more information, see Endpoints in AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region.

If you are signing requests and creating objects manually (instead of using the PowerShell cmdlets), you must set the AuthenticationRegion property of the ClientConfig class in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region.

For additional information, see the AWS Tools for PowerShell on the Developer Center.
