Before you record
- AWS access key IDs (
AKIA…) and other keys are blurred automatically. Account IDs and resource names aren't; use a sandbox account. - Never record the "Security credentials" page with real keys.
Record your AWS Console walkthrough
- Open the console
in a sandbox account.
- Record
the setup (S3 bucket, IAM role, Lambda).
- Deep-zoom
on settings you change.
- Export the guide
to your runbooks.
Turn it into a written AWS Console guide
Runbooks generated from real clicks stay accurate. Re-record when the console changes.
Tips for AWS Console recordings
- Blur the account menu (top right) with Alt+click.
