Command Aliases

Similar to git aliases

Initialize Alias File
mkdir -p ~/.aws/cli && echo '[toplevel]' > ~/.aws/cli/alias
Example Alias File
[toplevel]

fed = ! cat ~/.aws/credentials | grep '^\(account\|assumed\)_' | cut -d ' ' -f3 | tr '\n' ' ' | awk '{ printf "Account: %s (%s) Role: %s", $1, $2, $3 }'
account = fed

identity = sts get-caller-identity

NOTE: The above alias file defines an identity command, as well as a fed command and an account command that is itself an alias to another alias fed.
