About:
aws-console is a command-line utility that leverages your existing AWS CLI credentials to securely open the AWS Management Console in your default web browser. It automatically generates a federated session URL, eliminating the need to manually sign in or manage separate console passwords. This tool streamlines the workflow for developers and DevOps engineers who frequently switch between the CLI and the web console.
|
Key Features:
- Uses existing AWS CLI credentials for authentication
- Generates temporary federated console URLs
- Supports specifying AWS regions and accounts
- Simple, dependency-free command-line interface
|
Use Cases:
- Quickly opening the AWS Console for a specific region or account without re-authenticating
- Granting temporary console access to other users via generated URLs
- Automating console access in scripts or development workflows
|
Alternatives:
-
awscli
– The standard AWS CLI can generate console URLs via 'aws sts get-federation-token', but aws-console provides a more direct and user-friendly workflow.
-
aws-vault
– aws-vault focuses on secure credential storage and session management, while aws-console is specifically designed for launching the browser interface.
