passing access and secret key aws cli

Question

I am trying to embed access and secret key along with aws cli. e.g.

aws ec2 describe-instances --aws-access-key  --aws-secret-key 

        

Answer 1

You can set credentials with:

aws configure set aws_access_key_id 
aws configure set aws_secret_access_key 

Verify your credentials with:

aws sts get-caller-identity

For more information on set command:

aws configure set help

General pattern is:

aws  help
aws   help

Note: Before overriding your credentials, you may want to keep a copy of it:

aws configure get aws_access_key_id
aws configure get aws_secret_access_key
