Initializing Configurations

The Cloud CLI initialization command is used to store the permanent AK/SK and region information you often use in the configuration file, eliminating the need for frequently entering the information during operations. Run the following command to initialize configurations:

cloud configure init

After you type in the preceding command and press Enter, the system prompts you to enter the access key ID (required), secret access key (required), and default or common region (optional).

cloud configure init
Starting initialization. 'Secret Access Key' is anonymized..
Access Key ID [required]: ********
