- We need to configure a set of credentials which the CLI will use to communicate with AWS
aws configure
- This configures the default configuration profile for the CLI
- This is what’s used if we don’t specify a named profile
- named profiles
- we can use to configure multiple AWS accounts

iamadmin in both general & production accounts
- we can see list of credentials/profiles in
home>.aws>credentials
