Hands-on – Using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to create S3 buckets

In Chapter 1, An Introduction to Data Engineering, you created an AWS account and an AWS administrative user, and then ensured you could access your account. Console access allows you to access AWS services and perform most functions, however it can also be useful to interact with AWS services via the Command Line Interface (CLI) at times. In this hands-on section, you learn how to access the AWS CLI, and then use the CLI to create Amazon S3 buckets (a storage container in the Amazon S3 service).
