'aws configure get' should support sso-session configurations about aws-cli HOT 3 OPEN

Just a comment from an interested observer: from skimming the linked PR, it looks like the patch will enable retrieving specific keys from sso-session blocks? So given a config file containing

[sso-session sso-personal]
sso_region = ...
sso_start_url = ...

[sso-session sso-homebusiness]
sso_region = ...
sso_start_url = ...

the patch would permit things like aws configure get sso-personal.sso_start_url?

My comment/question is whether it could be extended a little bit to also support some variation on the theme of aws configure list-sso-sessions? Or perhaps a --sso-sessions option flag to the existing configure list-profiles?

I ask because there is no way at present that I can find to extract the "sso-personal" and "sso-homebusiness" labels from the configuration file. (I was hoping to script some management utilities around generating these sections, or at least testing whether a previous aws configure sso-session call had done so, etc.)

Thanks for the feature request. After a quick discussion with the team, we think this probably a reasonable request for the aws configure get command but further review is needed regarding the potential implementation. We would have to account for the config file variations and not introduce any possibly breaking behavior.

No problem, I had added the unit test for the new functionality.. and whilst here the CI Workflow didn't run yet due to review process, All Pytests executed locally successfully (with Py3.9 + Py3.11).

The only things I thought might perhaps make sense but didn't add was support for was get sso_section attributes using Unqualified Names...

e.g If one Specifies aws configure get sso_start_url --profile abc

This could lookup the values in the 'abc' profile section, if there isn't an sso_start_url key in that profile, then check if it has an sso_section key... if it does use that value to get the respective sso_section and return the sso_start_url value set there.

Also probably a documentation sample could be updated.
