Usage

awscrd -p {profile name} -t {MFA token}

Install

AWS credentials are assumed to be in ~./aws/credentials per standard guidance from AWS. Refer to the docs for info.

Session token and other security credentials are written to ~/.creds which suits my workflow at Big Health.

These file locations can be changed in ./awscrd/conf.py.

# create a venv
virtualenv -p python3.7 venv

# activate the venv
source venv/bin/activate

# install dependencies
poetry install

To bundle your script with setuptools for dev purposes run:

pip3 install --editable .

To setup the script to run from any directory, run this in your home directory:
