Configuring the AWS CLI

You can manage queues and messages in Message Queue using the AWS CLI.

To configure the AWS CLI to work with Message Queue:

1. Install the AWS CLI.

2. Create a service account with the editor role.

3. Create static access keys. Save the ID and secret key to a secure location. You will not be able to view the secret key parameters again after you close the window.

4. Configure the AWS CLI:

   1. Launch the interactive profile setup:

      aws configure
      

   2. Specify the service account key ID you obtained earlier:

      AWS Access Key ID [****************ver_]: <service_account_key_ID>
      

   3. Specify the service account secret key you obtained earlier:

      AWS Secret Access Key [****************w5lb]: <service_account_secret_key>
      

   4. Specify the ru-central1 default region name:

      Default region name [ru-central1]: ru-central1
      

   5. Specify json as the default format for output data:

      Default output format [None]: json
      

   6. To view the current profile settings, run this command:

      aws configure list
      

      Result:

            Name                    Value             Type    Location
            ----                    -----             ----    --------
