Usage

usage: awsassume [-h] -a ROLE_ARN -n ROLE_SESSION_NAME [--no-cache]
                 [-r REGION] [-c COMMAND [COMMAND ...]]

Execute AWS CLI commands after assuming role

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --no-cache            Disable caching of the assumed role response
  -r REGION, --region REGION
                        The region to be associated with the client
  -c COMMAND [COMMAND ...], --command COMMAND [COMMAND ...]
                        The AWS CLI command to execute after assuming role

required arguments:
  -a ROLE_ARN, --role-arn ROLE_ARN
                        The ARN of the role to assume
  -n ROLE_SESSION_NAME, --role-session-name ROLE_SESSION_NAME
                        An identifier for the assumed role session

Caching

By default, the assumed role response will be cached to ~/.awsassume/cache and used until it expires. The cache will expire one hour after the assume role request is successful.

If caching of the assumed role response is undesirable, use the --no-cache flag to disable caching of the assumed role response.

Example

$ awsassume -a arn:aws:iam::0123456789012:role/assume_role_test -n sessionname --no-cache

Region

The -r or --region option can be used to set the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable.

Example

$ awsassume -a arn:aws:iam::0123456789012:role/assume_role_test -n sessionname -r ap-southeast-1

Command

The -c or --command option can be used to pass the AWS CLI that is to be executed after successfully assuming role. The command will be executed with the following environment variables set to the credentials returned by the assumed role response.

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

• AWS_SESSION_TOKEN

• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION (only if the -r or --region option is set)

Example

$ awsassume -a arn:aws:iam::0123456789012:role/assume_role_test -n sessionname -c aws s3 ls

If the -c or --command option is omitted, the output of the program can be evaluated to export the following environment variables to the current shell.

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

• AWS_SESSION_TOKEN

• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION (only if the -r or --region option is set)

Example

$ `awsassume -a arn:aws:iam::0123456789012:role/assume_role_test -n sessionname`
