AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 765

What does the `configure` command allow an Administrator to do when setting up the AWS CLI? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Decide which VPC to create instances in.
• B. Designate the format of the response to CLI commands.
• C. Choose the default EC2 instance.
• D. Encrypt the CLI commands.
• E. Designate the default region.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The `aws configure` command is used to set up credentials, the default AWS Region, and the default output format (such as JSON, text, or table) for CLI command responses. It does not handle VPC selection, default EC2 instance types, or CLI command encryption, making those options incorrect.
