1. AWS CloudShell

• An alternative to AWS-CLI will be using AWS CloudShell directly.
• AWS CloudShell is a browser-based shell that gives you command-line access to your AWS resources in the selected AWS region.
• AWS CloudShell comes pre-installed with popular tools for resource management and creation.
• You have the same credentials as you used to log in to the console.

Are available only in Supported Regions.

Create and download a file from CloudShell.

Use pwd to get the path of your created file in the CloudShell.
