The AWS CLI Documentation You Really Wanted

When searching around and landing on look-alike pages, this is the one you were probably after

AWS is making it more difficult for customers to quickly find the documentation they need by creating duplicate lookalike pages that lack the links to all available options.

When searching for AWS CLI commands, this is the documentation you really want:

Make sure you are looking at the documentation for the latest version of the CLI, but the reason that documentation is best is because you can find any command for any service quickly.

Just click on Available Services on the left:

Click on any service to find the available commands for that service and how to use them.

Unfortunately you may end up on service-specific pages when performing a Google search taht send you to duplicate conent in the documentation for that particular service. The problem is that you can’t quickly navigate to some other service. I wish AWS would tell people to stop doing that because it leads to conflicting and outdated information and duplicate work for AWS as well. Stick to updating the master AWS CLI commands list and link all other documentation to it, please.
