AWS was CLI-only when it launched. It was fairly tedious TBH.
- capableweb 6y agoI wouldn't count Amazon screwing up UX against CLI tools. More a testament to Amazon and their inability to successfully implement good UX in both GUIs, webpages and CLIs.
- TheDong 6y agoI wouldn't count AWS as CLI-only. The initial launch post was: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon_simple_q/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon_simple_q/ > We’ve got sample code in C#, Java and Perl, and we also have a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Add-in. They launched as API-only, and they gave you sample code for how to talk to their psuedo-rest-like API, and use of SQS was API only. I don't know when the aws cli launched, but it was definitely a bit later.
- cow9 6y agoI thought their launch post was this https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/welcome/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/welcome/ back in 2004.
- TheDong 6y agoThe original AWS blog was about "amazon e-commerse services". They recycled the AWS name for their cloud stuff, and I don't count e-commerse services as AWS, even if they happened to share a blog.
- kondro 6y agoAWS still is CLI-first.
