Setting up powershell with AWS

Okay,
So I needed to setup my new powershell 6 with AWS. Didn't want to enter the credentials and all.
Install-Module -Name AWSPowerShell
Run this on your powershell 5 and/or 6 and you will have your aws tools for powershell ready to go.
Also run
notepad $profile
on powershell 5, powershell ISE, powershell 6 and copy paste the following, save them.
Import-Module AWSPowerShell
Also, if you want to be able to run scripts on your system then enable it toot by doing
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Close all of your powershell windows now, launch powershell and run the following
Get-AWSPowerShellVersion -ListServiceVersionInfo
and you should get

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AWSPowerShellVersion -ListServiceVersionInfo

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> 

So this means we have the AWS module working. but we want to be able to get this working but we want to set it in a way where it won't ask for credentials so that we can use provisioning tools like vagrant, ansible or chef.
Now we have to create a profile and set aws access to that so that we can perform activities without credentials.

$accessKey = 'ADFASGALKJCUIERHL' # fake example
$secretKey = 'SADFDSGDFH5d6+1P2pmIGW8fdkekdfsneujK14u' # fake example
$profileName = 'myProfileName' # fake example
Set-AWSCredential -AccessKey $accessKey -SecretKey $secretKey -StoreAs $profileName

So now the profile has our credentials stored. Let us now set a default region as Asia Pacific (Singapore)

Initialize-AWSDefaultConfiguration -ProfileName $profileName -Region ap-southeast-1
So we are all done. We can provision stuff from from AWS powershell with ease.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AWSRegion


Region         Name                      IsShellDefault
------         ----                      --------------
ap-northeast-1 Asia Pacific (Tokyo)      False         
ap-northeast-2 Asia Pacific (Seoul)      False         
ap-south-1     Asia Pacific (Mumbai)     False         
ap-southeast-1 Asia Pacific (Singapore)  True          
ap-southeast-2 Asia Pacific (Sydney)     False         
ca-central-1   Canada (Central)          False         
eu-central-1   EU Central (Frankfurt)    False         
eu-west-1      EU West (Ireland)         False         
eu-west-2      EU West (London)          False         
sa-east-1      South America (Sao Paulo) False         
us-east-1      US East (Virginia)        False         
us-east-2      US East (Ohio)            False         
us-west-1      US West (N. California)   False         
us-west-2      US West (Oregon)          False    
As you can see currently I have sen my default region as singapore.
Note: Powershell 6 somehow isn't playing well yet. May be in future it will. Everything howerver worked great with powershell 5.
