AWS-CLI - New Commands

Question

I want to extend commands for aws-cli it is possible, I mean aws-cli has some library to extend some functionality, it hasn't? For example, I want to obtain the size in MB of my files in the bucketmio, May I could create some extension for that, e.g

aws s3 bucketmio get-size-all-files

get-size-all-files is the new extension that I want.

Thanks.

Yes, you can Create and use AWS CLI aliases, which are "shortcuts you can create in the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to shorten commands or scripts that you frequently use. You create aliases in the alias file located in your configuration folder."

Here is an example that sends a message via Amazon SNS:

textalert =
  !f() {
    aws sns publish --message "${1}" --phone-number ${2}
  }; f

You can write shell script that calls the AWS CLI but also adds additional logic around those calls.

But, Could I made my own script to do something else?

You can write a script. The script can do whatever you program the script to do.
