<h3>AWS CLI Installation</h3>
<p>To begin using the services, the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) must be installed on your local machine. The AWS CLI is a unified tool that provides a consistent interface for interacting with all parts of AWS.</p>
<h4>Download and Install AWS CLI</h4>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>For Windows, you can download the MSI installer from the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html">AWS CLI installation page</a>.</li>
<li>For macOS, you can use Homebrew:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>brew install awscli</code></pre>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>For Linux, you can use the package manager:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get install awscli</code></pre>
<h4>Verify Installation</h4>
<p>After installation, verify that the AWS CLI is installed correctly by running:</p>
<pre><code>aws --version</code></pre>
<p>This command should return the version of the AWS CLI installed.</p>
<h4>Configure AWS CLI</h4>
<p>To configure the AWS CLI, you need your AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, region, and output format. Run the following command:</p>
<pre><code>aws configure</code></pre>
<p>You will be prompted to enter the required information:</p>
<ul>
<li>AWS Access Key ID</li>
<li>AWS Secret Access Key</li>
<li>Default region name (e.g., <code>us-east-1</code>)</li>
<li>Default output format (e.g., <code>json</code>)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage of AWS CLI</h3>
<p>Once the AWS CLI is installed and configured, you can start using it to manage the resources.</p>
<h4>Listing S3 Buckets</h4>
<p>To list all S3 buckets in your account, use:</p>
<pre><code>aws s3 ls</code></pre>
<h4>Creating an S3 Bucket</h4>
<p>To create a new S3 bucket, run:</p>
<pre><code>aws s3 mb s3://my-new-bucket</code></pre>
<h4>Uploading Files to S3</h4>
<p>To upload a file to your S3 bucket:</p>
<pre><code>aws s3 cp localfile.txt s3://my-new-bucket/</code></pre>
<h4>Downloading Files from S3</h4>
<p>To download a file from S3:</p>
<pre><code>aws s3 cp s3://my-new-bucket/localfile.txt .</code></pre>
<h4>Managing EC2 Instances</h4>
<p>To list all EC2 instances:</p>
<pre><code>aws ec2 describe-instances</code></pre>
<h4>Starting and Stopping EC2 Instances</h4>
<p>To start an instance:</p>
<pre><code>aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids i-1234567890abcdef0</code></pre>
<p>To stop an instance:</p>
<pre><code>aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids i-1234567890abcdef0</code></pre>
<h3>Azure Kubernetes Service Installation</h3>
<p>Azure Kubernetes Service is a managed Kubernetes service that simplifies the deployment, management, and operations of Kubernetes, while also integrating well with cloud solutions using AWS.</p>
<h4>Prerequisites</h4>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>An Azure account. If you don&#8217;t have one, you can create a free account.</li>
<li>Azure CLI installed on your machine. You can install it using:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash</code></pre>
<h4>Login to Azure</h4>
<p>Use the Azure CLI to log in to your Azure account:</p>
<pre><code>az login</code></pre>
<h4>Create a Resource Group</h4>
<p>Before creating an AKS cluster, you need a resource group:</p>
<pre><code>az group create --name myResourceGroup --location eastus</code></pre>
<h4>Create AKS Cluster</h4>
<p>To create an AKS cluster, use the following command:</p>
<pre><code>az aks create --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myAKSCluster --node-count 1 --enable-addons monitoring --generate-ssh-keys</code></pre>
<h4>Connect to the AKS Cluster</h4>
<p>After the cluster is created, configure <code>kubectl</code> to connect to it:</p>
<pre><code>az aks get-credentials --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myAKSCluster</code></pre>
<h4>Verify Connection</h4>
<p>To verify that you are connected to the AKS cluster, run:</p>
<pre><code>kubectl get nodes</code></pre>
<h3>Usage of Azure Kubernetes Service</h3>
<p>Once your AKS cluster is set up, you can manage it using <code>kubectl</code>, as well as automate tasks and manage resources effectively using AWS.</p>
<h4>Deploying an Application</h4>
<p>To deploy an application, you can create a deployment using:</p>
<pre><code>kubectl create deployment myapp --image=myapp:1.0</code></pre>
<h4>Exposing the Application</h4>
<p>To expose your application to the internet, create a service:</p>
<pre><code>kubectl expose deployment myapp --type=LoadBalancer --port=80</code></pre>
<h4>Scaling the Application</h4>
<p>To scale your application to 3 replicas:</p>
<pre><code>kubectl scale deployment myapp --replicas=3</code></pre>
<h4>Updating the Application</h4>
<p>To update your application to a new version:</p>
<pre><code>kubectl set image deployment/myapp myapp=myapp:2.0</code></pre>
<h4>Viewing Logs</h4>
<p>To view the logs of your application:</p>
<pre><code>kubectl logs deployment/myapp</code></pre>
<h4>Deleting Resources</h4>
<p>To delete the deployment and service:</p>
<pre><code>kubectl delete deployment myapp</code></pre>
<pre><code>kubectl delete service myapp</code></pre>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>The AWS CLI and <a href="https://cloudastra.co/blogs/azure-kubernetes-service-aks-and-azure-spring-apps-2">Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Spring Apps</a> are powerful tools. They enable developers and system administrators to manage cloud resources efficiently. You can automate tasks and manage This services directly from your command line. Similarly, AKS simplifies Kubernetes management. It allows you to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications with ease. By mastering these tools, you can enhance your cloud management capabilities and streamline your development workflows.</p>
