aws-console

Launch AWS Console from the command-line

The Problem

There is no easy way to launch, or go to, the AWS console of a particular account, short of saving the page as a browser bookmark.

This Solution

This CLI application allows users, who are typically familiar with the command-line, to launch AWS console from the command-line.

This application relies on the AWS credentials file stored under the current user's home directory (e.g. $HOME/.aws/credentials).

Install

go get -u github.com/petermbenjamin/aws-console

Usage

$ aws-console --help
Usage: aws-console <options>
Options:
  -c, --credentials string
        Path to AWS credentials file (default "/Users/pbenjamin/.aws/credentials")
  -d, --debug
        Debug
  -h, --help
        Print Help
  -p, --profile string
        AWS Profile (default "default")

Examples

• To launch AWS console using default profile credentials:

  aws-console
  

• To launch AWS console using some-other-account profile:

  aws-console --profile=some-other-account
  

• If your .aws/credentials file is stored in a different location:

  aws-console --credentials="/path/to/aws/cred/file"
