Hi@akhtar,

After installing aws cli in your system, you have to configure your account credentials in your local system. To do that follow the below given steps.

• Log in to your aws account.

• Go to my security credentials.

• Generate access key and save this.

• Now in your local system run the below command and set credentials accordingly.

[root@vm1 ~]# aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]:
AWS Secret Access Key [None]:
Default region name [None]:
Default output format [None]:

Hope this will help.
