aws-export-profile

aws-export-profile is a bash script that will output AWS export statements of your chosen aws boto profile. In case you have to manage multiple AWS accounts that rely on different boto profiles, you can activate a chosen profile by making it available in your shell environment.

This tool reads credentials from ~/.aws/credentials. If you are looking for a way to export boto profiles via aws sts assume-role instead, have a lookt at aws-export-assume-profile.

Note: Wrap the command in $(aws-export-profile) to actually export your boto environment variables.

But why?

Most AWS related tools support boto profiles out of the box, such as the aws-cli (Example: aws ec2 --profile <BOTO_PROFILE). However sometimes it is required to have your chosen boto profile available as shell variables. One of the use cases is when you use Docker and want a specific boto login available inside your container.:

# Export staging boto profile
user> $(aws-export-profile staging)

# Make AWS login available inside your Docker container
user> docker run --rm -it \
  --env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
  --env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
  --env AWS_REGION=$AWS_REGION \
  my-aws-docker

Available exports

The following export variables are currently supported.

Examples

This tool simply output the exports to stdout. In order to auto-source them, wrap the command in $(...).
