iamroles 1.2.0

Alias for rolesanywhere-onboard -- installs the `iamroles` command

iamroles

This is an alias package. It contains no code — it just installs rolesanywhere-onboard, which is where everything actually lives.

It exists because the command is called iamroles, so pip install iamroles is what people naturally type. This makes that work, and claims the name so nobody else can publish something else under it.

pip install iamroles

Either package name gets you the same iamroles command:

iamroles --url <ApiEndpoint> --secret <ApiKeyValue> --name alice \
    --trust-anchor-arn <arn> --profile-arn <arn> --role-arn <arn> --days 365

What it does

Onboards a developer against a self-hosted AWS IAM Roles Anywhere Certificate Authority: generates an RSA keypair locally (the private key never leaves the machine), requests a signed certificate over HTTPS, and writes an AWS CLI profile backed by aws_signing_helper — so aws s3 ls just works, with short-lived credentials and no static access keys anywhere.

Needs Python 3.8+ and nothing else. No AWS account, no aws CLI, no openssl. Linux, macOS, and Windows.
