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

I had to access multiple accounts on Amazon....so my solution:

under: ~/.aws/config

[default] aws_access_key_id = xxxx aws_secret_access_key = xxxxxx region=sa-east-1 output=text

[profile prof1] region=us-east-1 output=text aws_access_key_id = yyy aws_secret_access_key = yyyyy

[profile prof2] region=us-east-1 output=text aws_access_key_id = wwwwww aws_secret_access_key = wwwww

..and then when evoke the aws CLI, i passed the parameter "--profile" as:

/usr/local/bin/aws ec2 describe-security-groups --group-ids sg-xxxx --profile prof2

...that it!
