configure

Write an aws-cloud-utilities configuration file interactively. The command prompts for default profile, region, output format, and worker count, then saves them so you do not have to pass the same global flags on every invocation.

Commands

aws-cloud-utilities configure

Examples

# Interactive setup
aws-cloud-utilities configure

# Show the resolved configuration afterwards
aws-cloud-utilities info

Precedence

Settings resolve in this order, highest priority first:

1. Command-line flags (--profile, --region, --output)
2. Environment variables (AWS_PROFILE, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, AWS_CLOUD_UTILITIES_*)
3. The file written by configure
4. Built-in defaults

Point at an alternate file with the global --config flag.
