#######################
###### Where

# - _AWS Access Key ID_ & _AWS Secret Access Key can be any random strings at least one character long,_
# - _Default region name_ can be any region from [AWS’s region list](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regions_az/),
# - _Default output format_ can be `json`, `yaml`, `yaml-stream`, `table` or `text`. As we are not expecting enormous amount of data, `text` should do just fine.
