Features

When using multiple AWS profiles, e.g. different accounts for your stages (development, pre-prod, prod), I like to see which profile is currently exported and if the token is still valid.

An alias s2a

The plugin will export an alias for you:

alias s2a="saml2aws-auto"

Which profile is currently exported?

Image you have a group configured with the following entries:

• yann-duval-dev
• yann-duval-pre-prod

Now you would export the pre-prod profile

export AWS_PROFILE=yann-duval-pre-prod

To easily identify typos the indicator will be red

How long is the session valid for?

If you are running a command that might take sometime, eg. deleting a CloudFront distribution, it helps to know how long your session is valid for
