如何将我的 AWS CLI 驱动器从 H 更改为 C

Question

I have AWS CLI V2 installed on my company laptop which is on Windows 10 Enterprise.

The AWSCLI is located at C:\Program Files\Amazon\AWSCLIV2

When I enter aws configure it is saving my credentials in H:\ drive which is a network drive and I'm facing latency issues.

How do I move my .aws to C:\ drive to avoid latency?

According to the AWS documentation on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/credref/latest/refdocs/file-location.html#file-location-config the default location of the .aws directory is the home folder of the user.

You can override the exact location of the config and credentials files (which the aws configure call is writing) using the environment variables AWS_CONFIG_FILE and AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE , respectively.

Quote from the AWS documentation:

You can move the config file and the credentials file or even rename them as long as you tell the SDKs and tools how to find the information.

To do this, set the following environment variables to point to the files containing the configuration or credentials information, according to the rules of your operating system:

Config file – AWS_CONFIG_FILE

Credentials file – AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE
