About:
aws-sso-cli is a command-line utility that streamlines authentication to AWS accounts via AWS SSO. It automatically retrieves and processes AWS SSO credentials, managing secure sessions and making them available to other CLI tools. This eliminates the need for manual token management and complex configuration, significantly improving the developer experience for multi-account environments.
Key Features:
  • Automatic credential retrieval and session management
  • Seamless integration with existing AWS CLI tools
  • Support for multiple AWS accounts and roles
  • Secure handling of SSO tokens
Use Cases:
  • Managing credentials for developers working across multiple AWS accounts
  • Automating CI/CD pipeline authentication to AWS
  • Simplifying daily AWS CLI usage in organizations using SSO
Alternatives:
  • aws-vault – aws-vault often uses static IAM credentials or MFA, whereas aws-sso-cli is purpose-built for modern AWS SSO workflows.
  • Leapp – Leapp is a GUI-focused tool, while aws-sso-cli is a pure CLI utility preferred for scripting and terminal workflows.
