AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIA***********4OA
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: zdi*******************iZG2oej
Default region name [None]: ap-southeast-1a
Default output format [None]: json
After this when i test it through me below error.
[rmohan@rmohan ~]$ aws ec2 describe-instances
Could not connect to the endpoint URL: “https://ec2.ap-southeast-1a.amazonaws.com/”
Fix :- region which i configured is wrong. only last with 1 not 1a.
Open following file to fix.
[rmohan@rmohan ~]$ vi .aws/config
[rmohan@rmohan ~]$ aws ec2 describe-instances
{
“Reservations”: []
}
Two IMP Conf file..Just for ref.
[rmohan@rmohan ~]$ cat .aws/config
[default]
output = json
region = ap-southeast-1
[rmohan@rmohan ~]$ cat .aws/credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id = AKIA***********4OA
aws_secret_access_key = zdi*******************iZG2oejT
[rmohan@rmohan ~]$ aws ec2 create-security-group –group-name rk-sg –description “test security group”
{
“GroupId”: “sg-33777***56”
}
