I am working through the examples and I simply can't listen the tables like in the given cli example.
My cli parameters
java -Djava.library.path=./DynamoDBLocal_lib -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -inMemory
aws dynamodb list-tables --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000
Then it always asks me for a region and points me to "aws configure". When I entered nothing in the credentials and local as region I get:
Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure".
What am I doing wrong? I just want to play around locally to get more familiar with the cli interface before I use the cloud itself. Bugs me a but that I cant get it work.
Thanks for any hints!
When running DynamoDB local, you don't need valid keys, but do put a valid region. For example, when running aws configure put any key for aws access key id, any key for aws secret access key and type us-east-1 or us-west-1 etc for regions.
Try running again the command, it should work.

Apologies, this is such a rookie question. A report I set up is being run daily and deposited in the customer S3 bucket. I was given the command to run if I wanted to inspect the bucket contents. I want to verify my report is as expected in there, so I'd like to access it. But I have no idea where to actually run the command.
Do I need to install AWS CLI and run it there, is there something I need to install so I can run it from Terminal. The command has the AWS secret key, access key and URL.
If you wish to access an object from Amazon S3 on your own computer:
Download the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI)
Run: aws configure and provide your Access Key & Secret Key
To list a bucket: aws s3 ls s3://bucket-name
To download an object: aws s3 cp s3://bucket-name/object-name.txt .
(That last period means "to the current directory".)
We are using Jenkins and have got AWS Credentials stored in Jenkins Credential store.
I am now configuring a Build job to get the list of APIs from AWS to allow users to select the API (from parameter dropdown). To do this, I am writing a groovy script to get the list of AWS APIs. E.g.
aws apigateway get-rest-apis
But in order to run the above command, I need to first get the AWS credentials from the Jenkins credentials store. How can I do this?
(Correct me if I am wrong, the script which is going to be part of Extended parameter is going to run on Jenkins master node (and not on the Slave node) and not sure how do I get the AWS credentials)
Adding below in groovy script:
env.AWS_CREDENTIAL_ID="user_id"
user_id is id that is set in credentials for AWS account
for everyone's benefit, I used command like
env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${YourIDVariable} AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=${YourKeyVariable} aws apigateway get-rest-apis
and it worked
After installing awscli (the AWS command line tool), when I try to run it. I get this message in the terminal:
$ aws dynamodb describe-table --table-name MyTable
An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the DescribeTable operation:
User: arn:aws:iam::213352837455:user/someuser is not authorized to
perform: dynamodb:DescribeTable on resource: arn:aws:dynamodb:ap-northeast-1:213352837455:table/MyTable
$
But I don't know why I am considered logged as someuser at this moment (in the terminal in particular, but even in AWS).
someuser is only one of the few users I have set on AWS, a while ago.
What is the way to get logged in as the right user, to use awscli?
If you are running the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI) on an Amazon EC2 instance that has been assigned a role, then the CLI can use the permissions associated with that role.
If you are not running on an EC2 instance, then you can provide credentials via a credentials file (~/.aws/credentials) or an environment variable.
The easiest way to configure the credentials is:
$ aws configure
See: Configuring the AWS CLI
Maybe your old credentials are still stored in ~/.aws.
Log in with correct credentials
aws configure
For more info see Configuring the AWS CLI
in official documentation.
I am executing the following command
aws ec2 describe-instances
The error that i am getting is:
Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://ec2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/"
I tried this link in my browser and it was working fine. Actually i am completely new to AWS cli and i am trying to stop, start my instances using AWS cli.
I have used the command aws configure and then provided my access key and secret key. In the region i have entered us-west-2 and output as json.
I'm trying to use the AWS CLi for the first time, and I am doing it through putty by SSHing to the ec2 instance.
I want to run a command like "aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress [options]"
But I get the following error: "A client error (UnauthorizedOperation) occurred when calling the AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress operation: You are not authorized to perform this operation."
I believe that this is related to IAM user credentials. I have found out where to create IAM users, however I still don't understand how this helps me to execute this command when I'm logged into the server as ec2-user or root, or run the command through CRON.
I have done a fair amount of reading regarding the access controls on AWS in their documentation, but I seem to be missing something.
How can I allow the command to be executed from within the AWS instance?
The missing information I was looking for is the command: aws configure
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html
$ aws configure
