If your AWS account has "must MFA" access then typically you can't do much from the CLI until you get temporary credentials.
get-aws-creds
- This is the main script that will talk to the endpoints,
discover your account, what MFA token is assigned, request the credentials
and allow them to be exported. Typically you would do something like
eval $(AWS_PROFILE=myprofile get-aws-creds)
getaws
- This is a simple function that unsets the main AWS variables
and then calls the eval
command
getaws myprofile
clearaws
- Just unsets the main AWS variables
get-creds-from-role
- Use the meta-data service to get access tokens for the role associated to this machine
ec2
- Example of using get-creds-from-role
EXAMPLE
% getaws gcsf

Your MFA device is: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:mfa/sweharris
