Überblick
CLI to retrieve AWS credentials from Okta
Verlauf
gimme-aws-creds is a command-line tool from Nike for obtaining short-lived cloud credentials through Okta-backed SAML authentication.
The official README describes gimme-aws-creds as a CLI that uses an Okta identity provider via SAML to acquire short-lived credentials for AWS and Alibaba Cloud. Its 1.0.0 release notes describe support for a Lambda proxy to avoid sharing an Okta API key widely, plus Okta MFA support for multiple factors.
Over time the tool expanded from an Okta-to-AWS credential helper into a broader cloud credential bridge. Its documentation covers Okta Identity Engine, browser-based device authorization, MFA factor handling, configurable profiles, optional gimme-creds-lambda proxying, and Alibaba Cloud RAM credentials using the same Okta authentication flow.
The package fits the enterprise CLI niche created by federated AWS access: engineers need temporary AWS profiles, but organizations often require Okta MFA and SAML rather than long-lived IAM user keys. Distribution through PyPI, Homebrew, and Nix made it accessible to Python and macOS-oriented workstation setups.
Practitioners install the tool, run its configuration action to store Okta organization, application, role, and profile preferences, then run gimme-aws-creds to write temporary credentials to the AWS shared credentials file or to stdout. Teams use named profiles and environment overrides to switch accounts, roles, durations, MFA behavior, and cloud-provider mode.
gimme-aws-creds is package-manager-interesting because it lives at the boundary between local developer ergonomics and enterprise identity policy. Small packaging details, Python support, shell completion, optional dependencies, and credential-file paths directly affect whether engineers can enter cloud shells without manual SAML copy-and-paste work.
