Easily switch between AWS Profiles

Setup your profiles using the aws cli

aws configure --profile PROFILE_NAME

You can also leave out the --profile PROFILE_NAME param to set your default credentials

Refer to this doc for more information https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html

npm install -g awsp

Add the following to your .bashrc or .zshrc config

alias awsp="source _awsp"

awsp

For better visibility into what your shell is set to it's helpful to configure your prompt to show the value of the env variable AWS_PROFILE.

Here's a sample of my zsh prompt config using oh-my-zsh themes

function aws_prof {
  local profile="${AWS_PROFILE:=default}"

  echo "%{$fg_bold[blue]%}aws:(%{$fg[yellow]%}${profile}%{$fg_bold[blue]%})%{$reset_color%} "
}

PROMPT='OTHER_PROMPT_STUFF $(aws_prof)'
