aws-role-switcher 1.5.0

This is a CLI application to switch your role using autocompletion by parsing your config/credential file and set environment variables

aws_role_switcher

This is a CLI application makes it easier to switch roles using auto completion from parsing your aws config/credential file and setting "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY", "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "AWS_SESSION_TOKEN", "AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN" environment variables if present.

This script does not support MFA roles, and designed to help cycle through profiles set manually, or as output from an SSO script like: https://github.com/Nike-Inc/gimme-aws-creds

Installation

python3 -m pip install -U aws_role_switcher

In order to work properly this script must be sourced, add the following to your .profile or .bashrc( you can adjust the alias name to whatever you want) alias ars='source aws-role-switcher.sh'

Note: You can run this from the command line using . aws-role-switcher.sh or source aws-role-switcher.sh.

Configuration

You can set the following environmental variables:

AWS_PROFILE_SWITCHER_PATH - Override the default credential/config file location from $HOME/.aws/credentials

I would recommend adding to your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile

Example Usage

ars to start prompt. TAB or start typing to start auto completion list. TAB or use arrows to cycle through list, and enter to select.

Pass profile and region positional variables (Optional)

using a format of <script> <profile_arg> <region_arg> the utility will start the prompt process with the passed in args i.e ars admin uswest2 Example config file:
