Is there a way to export an AWS CLI Profile to Environment Variables?

Question

When working with certain third-party tools like Terraform, it\'s not easily possible to specify an AWS CLI profile, and I like working with the environment variables better

Answer 1

For sts assume role case, based on Frederic's idea, I figured out a workable shell script as followings:

aws-env.sh:

#!/bin/bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(aws configure get default.aws_access_key_id)
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(aws configure get default.aws_secret_access_key)
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=$(aws configure get default.aws_session_token)

echo AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
echo AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
echo AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=$AWS_SESSION_TOKEN

bash -i

Hope this helps.
