Largest Font Size

I use different font sizes depending on what I am doing.

If I am doing cloud engineering, I would use a Medium font size.

If I am teaching, then I use the Largest font size.

The font size of AWS CloudShell really depends on you. The easier you can read the output of AWS CloudShell the faster your work becomes.
