Using AWS CloudShell to work with AWS Security Incident Response

AWS CloudShell is a browser-based, pre-authenticated shell that you can launch directly from the AWS Management Console. You can run AWS CLI commands against AWS services (including AWS Security Incident Response) using your preferred shell (Bash, PowerShell or Z shell). And you can do this without needing to download or install command line tools.

You launch AWS CloudShell from the AWS Management Console, and the AWS credentials you used to sign in to the console are automatically available in a new shell session. This pre-authentication of AWS CloudShell users allows you to skip configuring credentials when interacting with AWS services such as Security Incident Response using AWS CLI version 2 (pre-installed on the shell's compute environment).
