Quick Reference

# List EC2 instances
aws ec2 describe-instances --output table

# Tail CloudWatch logs
aws logs tail /aws/lambda/my-function --follow

# List S3 buckets
aws s3 ls

# Invoke Lambda
aws lambda invoke --function-name my-func output.json

Configuration

  • AWS_PROFILE: Named profile to use
  • AWS_REGION: Target region (e.g., us-east-1)
  • AWS_DEFAULT_OUTPUT: Output format (json/table/text)

Security

⚠️ Never hardcode credentials ⚠️ Use IAM roles when possible ⚠️ IAM write operations are blocked

Agent Integration

  • devops (primary): Cloud operations
  • cloud-integrator (primary): Multi-cloud
  • incident-responder (secondary): Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution | | ------------- | --------------------- | | Access denied | Check IAM permissions | | Region error | Set AWS_REGION | | Credentials | Run aws configure |
