How to set up the AWS CLI to Programmatically Create EC2 Instances

I walk through how to install the AWS CLI on your local computer. I also demonstrate how to create an IAM User with programmatic access to configure the AWS CLI tool to create EC2 instances on your behalf.

Thank you very much. As someone now learning about the cloud, this helps so much understanding the CLI use in AWS. I know the AWS console a bit better but I am trying to learn using the CLI for 2024. Thank you again.

Hey cool video! I followed each step you performed and was able to launch an ec2 instance and verify in the ec2 dashboard. I was also able to terminate the ec2 instance from the cli! That was so simple. Question: How does the program know where to grab the .pem file? I thought one would have to specify the location of the file at least.
