AWS Credentials INI files¶

An easy example to get AWS credentials loaded in as environment variables from a non-default AWS credentials file location.

Example¶

source parser selector

env-alias:

    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:
        source: '~/credentials/aws/account_xxx/credentials'
        parser: 'ini'
        selector: 'profile_name.aws_access_key_id'

    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY:
        source: '~/credentials/aws/account_xxx/credentials'
        parser: 'ini'
        selector: 'profile_name.aws_secret_access_key'

    AWS_DEFAULT_REGION:
        source: '~/.aws/config'
        parser: 'ini'
        selector: 'profile account_name.region'

Walkthrough:

1. AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY are pulled from a non-default credentials file with parser: ini, selecting the aws_access_key_id / aws_secret_access_key fields of the profile_name section.
2. AWS_DEFAULT_REGION is read from the separate ~/.aws/config file, using the profile <name>.<field> selector syntax.
