aws-interactive-switch-profile
Do you use multiple named AWS profiles and switch between them on a regular basis? Instead of remembering what your profiles are called and the proper aws commands to type, this tool allows quick switching between profiles via an interactive menu that queries your profiles using the AWS-CLI. Run the program via a helper shell function, select the profile you want to use and that's it.
Install
$ npm install -g aws-interactive-switch-profile
Usage
aws-switch-profiles '/tmp/foo.txt'
Because you cannot persist global environment variables outside of Node and Prompts uses stdout, you must pass a writable temp file and also use some sort of helper function to facilitate the process. See sample-scripts folder for fish and zsh functions.
example zsh function
aisp() {
unset _PROFILE;
# creates tmp file
tf=$(mktemp /tmp/aisp.XXXXXXXXX)
# runs aws-switch-profiles and stores user selection to tmp file
aws-switch-profiles $tf
# reads in tmp file and stores to variable
_PROFILE=$(<$tf);
if [ -z $_PROFILE ];
then
echo "AWS_PROFILE not selected.";
else
export AWS_PROFILE=$_PROFILE
fi
rm $tf;
}
Requirements
