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. ### Adoptionsgeschichte 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. ### Wie es verwendet wird 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. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren 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. ### Zeitleiste - 2017: Version 1.0.0 released with Lambda proxy and MFA support notes. - 2018: 1.0 and 1.1 series releases continued on PyPI. - 2019: 2.0 series appeared on PyPI. - 2023: 2.7 series releases added Identity Engine and authentication-policy work. - 2024: 2.8.2 released with config and Windows dependency fixes. ### Related projects - The README points to gimme-creds-lambda for proxying Okta API interaction. It also sits near Okta's AWS client, AWS STS AssumeRoleWithSAML workflows, Alibaba Cloud STS, and other Okta-to-cloud credential helper CLIs. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise Für gimme-aws-creds wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
