 1 | # AWS PROFILE
 2 | 
 3 | ## INTRODUCTION
 4 | 
 5 |  Managing multiple AWS accounts from `aws-cli` tends to be a little tedious. 
 6 |  When you need to switch between multiple AWS accounts, it seems to be a hassle keeping a
 7 |  track of the current account, all the available account names. 
 8 |  
 9 |  Even setting the variable and using it to switch between accounts doesn't seem like 
10 |  the right deal.
11 |  
12 |     export AWS_PROFILE=user2
13 |  
14 | 
15 |  Aliases can be used to manage AWS profiles in a better way.
16 |  
17 |  With aliases we can do the following:
18 |  
19 |  * List available profiles
20 |  * View current profile configuration
21 |  * Switch to another profile
22 |  
23 | ## Creating Aliases
24 | 
25 |   First we will create functions that would be invoked by our Alias
26 |   
27 |   Create a file as below:
28 |   
29 |      vim ~/.awsAliases
30 |   
31 |   Next add the below lines in the file:
32 |     
33 |     #!/bin/bash
34 |     function _awsListAll() {
35 |  
36 |         credentialFileLocation=${AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE};
37 |         if [ -z $credentialFileLocation ]; then
38 |             credentialFileLocation=~/.aws/credentials
39 |         fi
40 |      
41 |         while read line; do
42 |             if [[ $line == "["* ]]; then echo "$line"; fi;
43 |         done < $credentialFileLocation;
44 |     };
45 |      
46 |     function _awsSwitchProfile() {
47 |        if [ -z $1 ]; then  echo "Usage: awsp profilename"; return; fi
48 |        
49 |        exists="$(aws configure get aws_access_key_id --profile $1)"
50 |        if [[ -n $exists ]]; then
51 |            export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=$1;
52 |            export AWS_PROFILE=$1;
53 |            export AWS_REGION=$(aws configure get region --profile $1);
54 |            echo "Switched to AWS Profile: $1";
55 |            aws configure list
56 |        fi
57 |     };
58 |   
59 |   Now if you are using *bash*, open bash_profile as below:
60 |   
61 |     vim ~/.bash_profile
62 |     
63 |   And add the following files:
64 |   
65 |     . ~/.awsAliases
66 |     alias awsall="_awsListAll"
67 |     alias awsp="_awsSwitchProfile"
68 |     alias awswho="aws configure list"
69 |     
70 |   If you are using zshrc, then add the lines in *~/.zshrc*
71 |   
72 |   Now, reload your bash profile or zshrc as below
73 |   
74 |     source ~/.bash_profile # For zshrc source ~/.zshrc
75 |    
76 | ## Running Aliases
77 |   
78 |   To list all the profiles use:
79 |   
80 |     awsall
81 |     
82 |   To switch between profiles use:
83 |   
84 |     awsp <profileName>
85 |    
86 |   To show current profile details:
87 |   
88 |     awswho
89 |
