AWS in 5 Minutes: AWS CloudShell

In this 5-minute video, you get an overview of AWS CloudShell along with a demo of the service.

Because of the ephemeral nature of CloudShell, it can be used to ensure consistency since - other than your home directory - it resets its configuration every time you use it. Therefore, it can be very useful for experimentation. CloudShell is also helpful for establishing context as you switch between AWS accounts as it's easy to determine which account and in which region you are running.

There is no extra cost for using CloudShell. You only pay for the resources you use or create from CloudShell.
