The new AWS CLI integration with AWS SSO enables developers to initiate AWS SSO sign-in from the CLI, access roles assignments that administrators manage centrally in AWS SSO, and take full advantage AWS CLI’s built in support for named profiles. Developers can easily list and select from their AWS SSO assigned accounts and roles and automatically create named profiles for each. The automatic short-term credential management enables developers to switch between accounts and roles seamlessly without refreshing credentials. As a result, developers can completely switch to using short-term credentials for all account access to improve their security posture, and they start and stay in the CLI without interruption during long-running operations for increased productivity.
There is no cost for AWS SSO, and it is available in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), EU (Ireland), EU (Frankfurt), EU (London) Regions.
