AWS CLI error in Amazon Linux

AWS CLI error in Amazon Linux

AWS CLI - is AWS Command Line Interface. It is a tool that brings in all the AWS provided services under a single roof, meaning, we will be able to create, modify and access resources using this command line interface via commands

We all know that we need to install in any flavor of Linux; recently, I faced an issue of accessing AWS CLI in Amazon linux AMI

Accessing aws from shell prompt returns "too few arguments" or aws --version returns awscli version installed in that instance

Let us see on resolving the same

Error:

[ec2-user@ip-xx.xx.xx] aws

ImportError: cannot import name HTTPClientError


Issue:

1. could be that system update was applied using "sudo yum update" which might have updated any dependencies or so

Resolution:

• re-install didnt work
• sudo pip install upgrade --awscli - resolved the issue....Yayyyyyyyyyy !!!

AWS decode authorization message

AWS - How-to decode authorization error messages


Today I came across an interesting issue in AWS

I was mapping Jenkins to launch EC2 slaves dynamically[yes finally, i did it :-)]

The Launch configuration was giving some errors unreadable and was really confused about whats wrong and where

Finally identified, that the AWS Authorization messages thrown out on any request is bound to generate an encoded message, which is really confusing !!!

The encode message thus generated as part of EC2 access permissions error will have to deciphered by decoding the same using the AWS CLI utility. Yessss !!! AWS has it all !!!
