Create IAM User & Configure CLI
Course description
Stop using your root account for everything and risking your entire AWS infrastructure. You'll create an IAM user for everyday work and configure the AWS CLI, the same security practice that every developer follows on AWS.
This quick setup takes you from a fresh AWS account to a properly configured development environment. You'll create an IAM user with appropriate permissions, generate access keys, and install the AWS CLI so you can run commands from your terminal.
This is the required first step before building anything on AWS. Every tutorial and course assumes you've done this - learn how to set it up correctly.
