Vehicle Creation and Device Provisioning in a Linux Environment

[akashenji]

Is it possible to create a new vehicle or download device certificates from a Linux-based system instead of using the AWS console or AWS Cloud Shell?

It looks like AWS Cloud Shell uses the "aws" Linux package or certain script files to perform these tasks.

aws iotfleetwise create-vehicle --cli-input-json file://create-vehicle.json

The same AWS package is available on a Linux PC and can be installed. While configuring it, these parameters are required:

$ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]:
AWS Secret Access Key [None]:
Default region name [None]:
Default output format [None]:

Can device provisioning be done in a Linux-based environment? Also, what do "Secret Access Key" and "Output Format" mean?

Thanks @akashenji for the query
Yes sure we can do the vehicle provisioning from the linux based environment. For getting the AWS credentials please follow this public documentation : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/v1/userguide/cli-authentication-short-term.html.
Please do let me know if you require any further support from our side.

Hi @VB011201
Thanks for the confirmation. Please let me know if there is any Yocto recipe or source code available to install the AWS package.
