goAwsConsole

This application works as CLI and opens the AWS console in the default browser using the profile settings preconfigured.

To make it more clear, here is a video:

Since it uses AWS STS to assume the role, it is necessary to pre-configure the role in the AWS before using it. By default, it uses the role 'SREAccess'.

Build:

make

will compile the application for your current OS and architecture. If you want to build for a different OS or architecture, the available options are: linux, mac, macintel and windows. For example, if you want to build for Linux, you can use the following command to build for a different OS or architecture:

make linux
