Posted on Jun 30, 2023

This article will be about some basic usages of awscli for S3 operations

  1. First we need to create a profile, this will be basically storing the information about our S3 connection.
$ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID []: <this will be Access Key Id>
AWS Secret Access Key []: <this will be the Secret Key>
Default region name []: <This will be the region name>
Default output format []: <This will be the output format of each aws command>
  1. Listing the buckets
$ aws s3 ls --endpoint-url <endpoint url>
2023-06-07 16:37:25 bucket1
2023-06-14 13:50:00 bucket2
  1. List objects and prefixes in the bucket
$ aws s3 ls --endpoint-url <endpoint url> bucket1
PRE folder1
2023-06-15 10:32:40 101713608 object1
  1. Get ObjectLock configuration for a bucket
$ aws s3api get-object-lock-configuration --bucket bucket1
{
  "ObjectLockConfiguration": {
    "ObjectLockEnabled": "Enabled",
    "Rule": {
      "DefaultRetention": {
        "Mode": "COMPLIANCE",
        "Days": 7
      }
    }
  }
}
