I am working on multiple projects with different clients, each of them have their own AWS account. AWS infrastructure requires aws credential, that’s mean I will have many credentials.
So, the question is: How I manage credentials and switch credentials easily?
Run the command to store credentials to a specific profile.
1 | aws configure --profile projectA # enter the secret & access key |
I have many profiles, hence switching profiles is the first step before I run any AWS CLI commands. To switch profile, I will run
1 | export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=projectA |
After the export command, right now I can run any AWS CLI commands I want.
