Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "If Python is already installed on your machine, then skip to the pip installation step."

A block of code is set as follows:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
    <artifactId>aws-java-sdk</artifactId>
    <version>1.9.28.1</version>
</dependency>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress 
--group-id sg-f332ea96 
--protocol tcp 
--port 11211
