AWS Chatbot now supports command aliases to shorten frequently used AWS CLI commands in Slack

[Amazon Web Services]

Today, AWS announces the general availability of the command aliases feature in AWS Chatbot, which allows you to use shortcuts to reference AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) commands in Slack. Command aliases allows you run frequently used commands quickly and reduces typing errors. With this feature you can now create aliases for your routine AWS CLI commands and run these alias commands directly from your Slack channels. The aliases can be configured to include one or more custom parameters. To use a command alias, you just type “@aws run <alias_name>” in the chat channel. Command aliases run under the configured channel permissions and no additional permissions management is required.
