How to Install & Use Kiro CLI with OpenClaw on AWS EC2 (Secure SSM + Port Forwarding Tutorial)

Part 2 of my OpenClaw on AWS series! In response to your comment on "How to Run OpenClaw Without Breaking the Bank" (where I compared models and introduced Kiro CLI for supercharging setups), here's the full guide to installing and using Kiro CLI on your AWS EC2 instance. Kiro CLI (from kiro.dev, powered by Amazon Bedrock) lets you troubleshoot, automate, and handle complex tasks with your OpenClaw AI agent—all securely without exposing ports publicly. We pick up from an already-deployed EC2 (watch Part 1 for full setup: EC2 launch, CloudFormation, OpenClaw install + Bedrock integration). Covered in this video: Secure connection via AWS SSM Session Manager (no SSH keys!) Switch to Ubuntu & verify OpenClaw Port forwarding setup (3128 tunnel for Kiro auth + custom local port for OpenClaw dashboard) Install Kiro CLI & add to PATH Device-flow authentication (copy code/URL to browser—no GUI on EC2) Run Kiro commands for testing/troubleshooting Launch encrypted OpenClaw dashboard locally & chat with your agent Keeps your setup private, cost-effective, and powerful—ideal for 24/7 personal AI on WhatsApp/Slack/etc. Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro, Series Recap & Comment Response 01:00 – SSM Session to EC2 Instance 03:00 – Port Forwarding (3128 Auth + Dashboard Tunnel) 06:00 – Install & Configure Kiro CLI 09:00 – Device-Flow Auth Walkthrough 12:00 – Test Kiro Commands & Troubleshooting 15:00 – Run OpenClaw Dashboard & Agent Demo 18:00 – Wrap-Up & Next Video Ideas Previous videos: Part 1: Deploy OpenClaw on AWS End-to-End → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVmyVEZfpRs Low-Cost Models Comparison + Kiro Intro → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4aH7e7ZPqs 👍 Like if this saved you time, subscribe for more OpenClaw/Kiro/AWS guides! 💬 Comment: What should Part 3 cover?
