The AWS Command Line Interface is available in two versions.
AWS CLI version 2
AWS CLI version 2 is the most recent major version of the AWS CLI and supports all of the latest features. Some features introduced in version 2 are not backward compatible with version 1 and you must upgrade to access those features. AWS CLI version 2 is available to install only as a bundled installer. Although you might find it in some package managers, these are not produced or managed by AWS and are therefore not official and not supported by AWS. We recommend that you install the AWS CLI from only the official AWS distribution points, as documented in this guide.
