# Accessing AWS services ------ #### [ AWS Management Console ] Access and manage Amazon Web Services through the [AWS Management Console](https://aws.amazon.com/console/), a simple and intuitive user interface. You can also use the [AWS Management Console Application](https://aws.amazon.com/console/mobile/) to quickly view resources on the go. ------ #### [ AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) ] The [AWS Command Line Interface](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) (AWS CLI) is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts. [AWS CloudShell](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudshell), which can be found next to the search bar in the AWS Management Console, provides a browser-based shell that is pre-authenticated with your console credentials. Using CloudShell, you can quickly run AWS commands and scripts without leaving your web browser. ------ #### [ Software Development Kits (SDKs) ] Our [Software Development Kits (SDKs)](https://aws.amazon.com/developer/tools/) simplify using AWS services in your applications with an Application Program Interface (API) tailored to your programming language or platform. ------ Return to [AWS services](amazon-web-services-cloud-platform.md).
