| Configure AWS CLI options. If this command is run with no | |
| arguments, you will be prompted for configuration values such as your AWS | |
| Access Key Id and your AWS Secret Access Key. You can configure a named | |
| profile using the ``--profile`` argument. If your config file does not exist | |
| (the default location is ``~/.aws/config``), the AWS CLI will create it | |
| for you. To keep an existing value, hit enter when prompted for the value. | |
| When you are prompted for information, the current value will be displayed in | |
| ``[brackets]``. If the config item has no value, it be displayed as | |
| ``[None]``. Note that the ``configure`` command only works with values from the | |
| config file. It does not use any configuration values from environment | |
| variables or the IAM role. | |
| Note: the values you provide for the AWS Access Key ID and the AWS Secret | |
| Access Key will be written to the shared credentials file | |
| (``~/.aws/credentials``). | |
| ======================= | |
| Configuration Variables | |
| ======================= | |
| The following configuration variables are supported in the config file: | |
| * **aws_access_key_id** - The AWS access key part of your credentials | |
| * **aws_secret_access_key** - The AWS secret access key part of your credentials | |
| * **aws_session_token** - The session token part of your credentials (session tokens only) | |
| * **metadata_service_timeout** - The number of seconds to wait until the metadata service | |
| request times out. This is used if you are using an IAM role to provide | |
| your credentials. | |
| * **metadata_service_num_attempts** - The number of attempts to try to retrieve | |
| credentials. If you know for certain you will be using an IAM role on an | |
| Amazon EC2 instance, you can set this value to ensure any intermittent | |
| failures are retried. By default this value is 1. | |
