An aws-cli plugin to login to an account via the browser

awscli-console-login

The awscli-console-login plugin converts roles described in ~/.aws/config into active AWS console sessions in your browser.

While the console enables cross-account access, its support is limited to 5 roles. Any multi-account strategy is likely to require a greater number of roles. This plugin simplifies and unifies the management of those role ARNs via the local config file.

Usage

To get started, simply install the package and add it to your config file's plugin section. Note that the second step can be performed by manually editing ~/.aws/config instead.

$ pip install awscli-console-login
$ aws configure set plugins.console awscli_console_login

Thereafter, invoke the command on the appropriate profile. A logged-in console session should open in your browser of choice:

$ aws console-login --profile poc
