What are three ways to interact with AWS services?
AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and Software Development Kits (SDK)
What is the AWS Management Console?
It is a web-based interface for accessing and managing AWS services. You can quickly access recently used services and search for other services by name, keyword, or acronym. The console includes wizards and automated workflows that can simplify the process of completing tasks.
How can the AWS Command Line Interface help improve workflow?
By using AWS CLI, you can automate the actions that your services and applications perform through scripts.
What is a Software Development kit? (SDK)
Another option for accessing and managing AWS services is the software development kits (SDKs). SDKs make it easier for you to use AWS services through an API designed for your programming language or platform. SDKs enable you to use AWS services with your existing applications or create entirely new applications that will run on AWS.
What lets you provide code and configuration settings, and deploys the resources necessary to perform the following tasks:

What lets you treat your infrastructure as code? This means that you can build an environment by writing lines of code instead of using the AWS Management Console to individually provision resources.
