We need a working AWS account to practice the recipes within this chapter. We should install and configure the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI) in our local machine. It's assumed that you have basic knowledge of S3.
The AWS Management Console is generally used for one-time activities. For repetitive tasks, we should use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). I will be providing CLI API usages for most cases with code files. You may follow these CLI API usages and implement them in a programming language of your choice using the AWS SDK or automate them using CloudFormation templates, as applicable.
