LocalStack AWS CLI

This package provides the awslocal command, which is a thin wrapper around the aws command line interface for use with LocalStack.

Installation

You can install the awslocal command via pip:

pip install awscli-local

Usage

The awslocal command has the same usage as the aws command. For detailed usage, please refer to the man pages of aws help.

Example

Instead of the following command ...

aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4568 kinesis list-streams

... you can simply use this:

awslocal kinesis list-streams

Configurations

You can use the following environment variables for configuration:

• LOCALSTACK_HOST: Set the hostname for the localstack instance. Useful when you have localstack is bound to another interface (i.e. docker-machine).
• USE_SSL: Whether to use https endpoint URLs (required if LocalStack has been started with USE_SSL=true enabled). Defaults to false.
