The AWS CLI provides built-in JSON-based client-side filtering capabilities with the --query parameter. The --query parameter is a powerful tool you can use to customize the content and style of your output. The --query parameter takes the HTTP response that comes back from the server and filters the results before displaying them. Since the entire HTTP response is sent to the client before filtering, client-side filtering can be slower than server-side filtering for large data-sets.
