AWS operations by cli should be simpler

Description

jungle makes AWS operations from terminal simpler and more intuitive.

Why created

awscli is by far the most comprehensive CLI tool manipulating various AWS services, and I really like its flexible options and up-to-date release cycle. However, day-to-day AWS operations from my terminal don't need that much flexibility and that many services. Rather, I wanted just small set of UNIX-like commands which are easy to use and remember.

Configuration

You can create the credential file yourself. By default, its location is at ~/.aws/credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY

You may also want to set a default region. This can be done in the configuration file. By default, its location is at ~/.aws/config

[default]
region = us-east-1
