About:
AWSume is a command-line utility that simplifies assuming AWS IAM roles by managing credential processes. It automates retrieving and temporarily storing credentials, allowing users to seamlessly switch between different AWS accounts and roles. The tool integrates with the AWS CLI to provide a frictionless workflow for managing complex cloud environments.
Key Features:
  • Automated credential management and role assumption
  • Support for multiple AWS accounts and role chaining
  • Integration with AWS SSO and MFA devices
  • Shell integration for easy environment variable export
Use Cases:
  • Developers managing resources across multiple AWS accounts
  • DevOps engineers requiring frequent role switching for deployments
  • Teams utilizing AWS SSO for centralized access control
Alternatives:
  • aws-vault – aws-vault focuses on secure storage of long-term credentials in system keychains, whereas AWSume focuses on the workflow of assuming short-term roles.
  • awsume2aws – A simpler alternative that primarily focuses on converting standard AWS profiles to assume-role-with-saml configurations.
