Get environment variables from AWS profile (for use with docker-machine)

aws_env

#!/bin/sh
# Set the AWS environment variables for an AWS profile
# Useful for docker-machine
#
# Example:
#
#    aws_env profile-for-testing
#
# Further information:
# See the AWS CLI `aws configure`
#

echo "# Environment for AWS profile '$1'"
echo export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(aws configure get aws_access_key_id --profile $1)
echo export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(aws configure get aws_secret_access_key --profile $1)
echo export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=$(aws configure get region --profile $1)

echo "# Run this command to configure your shell:"
echo "# eval \$($0 ${@})"

Thanks for your script. I adapted to a ~/.zshrc function so it doesn't require a standalone file.

aws_env() {
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(aws configure get aws_access_key_id --profile $1);
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(aws configure get aws_secret_access_key --profile $1);
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=$(aws configure get region --profile $1);
echo "$1 environment variables exported";
}

When doing an sts.assumerole you get a third key called AWS_SESSION_TOKEN. Some tools refer to this as AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN.

aws_env() {
  export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(aws configure get aws_access_key_id --profile "$1");
  export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(aws configure get aws_secret_access_key --profile "$1");
  export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=$(aws configure get aws_session_token --profile "$1");
  export AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN=$(aws configure get aws_security_token --profile "$1");
  export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=$(aws configure get region --profile "$1");
  echo "$1 environment variables exported";
}

@mjul I understand this script runs inside docker container. Where does this pick up the profile from?

Enhance a little: "default" profile by default will be used

aws_env() {
  PROFILE="${1:-default}" 
  echo "setup AWS $PROFILE"
  export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$(aws configure get aws_access_key_id --profile "$PROFILE");
  export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(aws configure get aws_secret_access_key --profile "$PROFILE");
  export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=$(aws configure get aws_session_token --profile "$PROFILE");
  export AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN=$(aws configure get aws_security_token --profile "$PROFILE");
  export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=$(aws configure get region --profile "$PROFILE");
  echo "$PROFILE environment variables exported";
}
