Je interactueert met AWS via verschillende interfaces — de Management Console (webgebruikersinterface), de CLI (commandoregel), SDKs (in code) en Infrastructure as Code-tools. Het begrijpen van deze interfaces en wanneer je ze gebruikt, is praktische basiskennis.
De belangrijkste manieren om met AWS te interactie
1. MANAGEMENT CONSOLE — a web UI:
→ point-and-click; great for LEARNING, exploring, one-off tasks, visualizing
→ not repeatable/scriptable; error-prone for repeated/complex setups
2. AWS CLI — command-line interface:
→ scriptable, automatable; good for automation and repeatable tasks
3. SDKs — libraries for your code (Python boto3, JS, Java, Go, etc.):
→ interact with AWS programmatically FROM your application
4. INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE (IaC) — CloudFormation, Terraform, CDK:
→ define infrastructure declaratively in code (the BEST for production — see below)
