    Install awsclie and configure awscli , then it will create .aws directory. .aws directory has two files config and credentails.

    1).Install AWS CLI commands:

                 apt update -y
             apt install awscli -y

    Check version:

               aws --v
           aws-cli/1.22.34 Python/3.10.6 Linux/5.19.0-1025-aws 
           botocore/1.23.34

    1. Configure aws cli: provide access key and secret key Check .aws directory :

           root@ip-xxxxxxxxxxx:~# aws configure
     AWS Access Key ID [None]: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
     AWS Secret Access Key [None]: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
     Default region name [None]:
     Default output format [None]:

    3). Check .aws directory (aws is a hidden directory start with .)

               root@ip-172-31-15-200:~# ls -alrt
           total 28
           -rw-r--r--  1 root root  161 Jul  9  2019 .profile
           -rw-r--r--  1 root root 3106 Oct 15  2021 .bashrc
           drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Oct 18 06:45 ..
           drwx------  2 root root 4096 Oct 18 06:45 .ssh
           drwx------  4 root root 4096 Oct 18 06:45 snap
           drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Oct 18 06:54 .aws
           drwx------  5 root root 4096 Oct 18 06:54 .

    The ~/.aws directory is created when you run the aws configure command to store your credentials.

    For example:

    $ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
Default region name [None]: us-west-2
Default output format [None]: json
