Glossary: Terraform

AWS CLI

Also written: aws configure, aws login, AWS_PROFILE

Amazon's command-line tool. `aws login` or `aws configure` stores credentials where the Terraform AWS provider finds them, so no keys go in your files; the `AWS_PROFILE` environment variable picks a named set if you have several.
