aws-runas

Command-line tool for AWS STS AssumeRole with SAML, Web Identity, and MFA support.

Desktopfree

aws-runas is a command-line tool that assumes AWS IAM roles via STS, supporting plain IAM credentials, SAML SSO, and Web Identity (OIDC) login, all with MFA. It caches the resulting credentials to cut down on repeated MFA prompts and can expose them to a shell as environment variables or through a local metadata service. It's built for cloud and DevOps engineers who regularly switch between AWS roles and accounts.
