he AWS CLI is already installed on Cloud9, so we just need to configure it with permanent credentials. This is needed for compatibility with the ASK CLI that we'll install later.

Detailed instructions to configure Cloud9 to use permenent credentials (expand for details)
  1. Launch Cloud9
  2. Open Cloud9 Preferences by clicking AWS Cloud9 > Preference or by clicking on the "gear" icon in the upper right corner of the Cloud9 window
  3. Click "AWS Settings"
  4. Disable "AWS managed temporary credentials"
  5. Open a bash prompt and type aws configure
  6. Enter the Access Key and Secret Access Key of a user that has AdministratorAccess credentials

Verify that everything worked by examining the file ~/.aws/credentials. It should resemble the following:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = ABCDEF1234567890
aws_secret_access_key = 2bacnfjjui689fwjek100009909922h
region=us-east-1
aws_session_token=

You should now be able to run AWS CLI commands using the credentials on your Cloud9 instance. For example run the following command from Cloud9's bash prompt:

aws s3 ls

...should return a list of the S3 buckets in your account.
