About:
aws-google-auth is a command-line tool that authenticates users against Google's SAML 2.0 Identity Providers to acquire temporary AWS credentials. It automates the process of obtaining STS tokens, enabling secure access to AWS resources without managing static keys. This tool is particularly useful for organizations using Google Workspace for federated access to AWS.
Key Features:
  • SAML 2.0 based authentication flow
  • Automatic role selection and MFA support
  • Generates temporary AWS STS credentials
  • Integration with AWS CLI credential process
Use Cases:
  • Automating AWS CLI authentication in environments using Google Workspace as an IdP
  • Scripting secure AWS credential retrieval for CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • saml2aws – Similar functionality but supports multiple identity providers beyond Google, including Okta and OneLogin.
  • gsts – Focuses specifically on Google Workspace SAML authentication for AWS, often with a more modern implementation.
