The command syntax to configure an ECS CLI profile is as follows:
ecs-cli configure profile --profile-name profile_name --access-key $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --secret-key $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
The different command parameters in the ecs-cli configure profile command are discussed in this table:
|
Command parameter |
Description |
Value to set |
|
--profile |
Name of an existing ECS cluster or a new cluster to create |
hello-world |
|
--access-key |
AWS access key ID |
Value would be different for different users |
|
--secret-key |
Secret access key |
Value would be different for different users |
- Create an ECS CLI profile, hello-world, in which the variables need to be substituted with the AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, which would be different for different users:
ecs-cli configure profile --access-key $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --
secret-key $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY --profile-name hello-world
- As the output from the command indicates, an ECS CLI profile gets saved:
PS C:PowerShell> ecs-cli configure profile --access-key Abcdef --
secret-key D+d+KidQel/myUXJi/hJjtk --profile-name hello-world
time="2018-01-09T15:46:15-08:00" level=info msg="Saved ECS CLI
profile configuration hello-world."
- As an alternative to creating a hello-world profile (or some other profile name), a default ECS profile may be created using the -StoreAs default parameter:
PS C:PowerShell> Set-AWSCredential -AccessKey AKIAJ4DECNW6BFYN5PNA -
SecretKey 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 -StoreAs default
