[Guide] Setting up the AWS PowerShell Module

This tutorial video demonstrates how to install the Amazon Web Services (AWS) PowerShell module for .NET Core, running inside of a Docker container on Linux. Aside from installing the module, you'll also learn how to create an AWS Identity & Access Management (IAM) user account with an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, that gives the IAM User access to various cloud resources in your AWS account. You'll configure these credentials in an AWS credentials file inside your Docker container, so that you can call various AWS PowerShell commands to manage your cloud resources. Finally, you'll test out an AWS PowerShell command, to ensure the user account is working properly, and then attach a limited IAM Policy that allows you to call the APIs for the Amazon Simple Queuing Service (SQS). Keep in mind that there are two different versions of the AWS PowerShell module: one for PowerShell "Desktop" Edition (Windows only) and the PowerShell "Core" Edition (Linux, Mac, Windows). If you're on Windows, you'll need to make sure that you use the correct version of the AWS PowerShell module, depending on whether you're running the Desktop or Core edition.
