How to manage multiples aws accounts easily

Configure profiles and create aliases

1. Configure the aws profiles for each credentials

  • aws configure --profile profile-a
  • aws configure --profile profile-b
  • aws configure --profile profile-c
  • aws configure --profile profile-d

2. Edit the .zshrc or .bashrc file adding

alias awsa="export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=profile-a"
alias awsb="export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=profile-b"
alias awsc="export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=profile-c"
alias awsd="export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=profile-d"
...
alias currentaws="echo $AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE"

3. Load the .zshrc or .bashrc file

  • source ~/.zshrc or source ~/.bashrc

To change the profile

$ awsc

To print the current profile

$ currentaws
profile-c

TIP: Chose profile names and aliases that make sense for you.

Examples:

$ awsdev
$ currentaws
awsdev
$ awsqa
$ currentaws
awsqa
