AWS CLI profile switcher with MFA support

Usage

Installation

// npm
npm install -g awsx

// yarn
yarn global add awsx

Add the following to your .bash_profile or .bashrc:

alias awsx="source _awsx"

Reload your profile by launching a new shell or running source ~/.bash_profile.

Upgrading

// npm
npm install -g awsx

// yarn
yarn global upgrade awsx --latest

Switching profiles

awsx or awsx [profile] or awsx [profile] [assume-role-profile]

If you don't specify a profile name (or an assume role profile name, if applicable) you will be prompted to choose from one of your existing profiles. If the selected profile has MFA enabled and you want to force a new MFA login use the --force-mfa flag.

Adding a new profile

awsx add-profile [profile] [access-key] [secret-key] [key-max-age] [default-region] [output-format] [mfa-arn] [mfa-expiry]

NOTE: If you don't provide inputs you will be prompted for them.

Finding your MFA ARN

You can find your MFA ARN by logging into the AWS Console, clicking on your name in the menu and then clicking on "My Security Credentials". Under the "Multi-factor authentication (MFA)" section there should be an "Assigned MFA device" heading. The string below that that starts with arn:aws:iam:: is your MFA ARN.

If you don't have MFA set up on your AWS account you can enable it by following these instructions.

Adding MFA support to an existing profile

awsx enable-mfa [profile]

Removing MFA support from an existing profile

awsx disable-mfa [profile]

Removing a profile

awsx remove-profile [profile]

Get current profile

awsx current-profile

Adding an assume role profile

awsx add-assume-role-profile [profile] [parent-profile] [role-arn] [default-region] [output-format]

Removing an assume role profile

awsx remove-assume-role-profile [profile]

Show what AWS account and identity you're using
