Project history and usage
Leapp CLI is the command-line companion to Leapp, Noovolari's open-source cloud access and credential-management tool for AWS and Azure workflows.
Project history
The Leapp repository describes a cross-platform cloud access app built on Electron and focused on cloud credential generation, local encrypted storage, multiple access strategies, and automatic short-lived credential rotation. The CLI exposes those session and credential workflows to shells and automation.
Adoption history
Leapp's website positioned it for developers operating across multiple cloud accounts and stated that more than 8000 builders used Leapp every day. In May 2024, Noovolari announced the end of its company and commercial Leapp Team and Pro activity, while saying the open-source Leapp project would continue through a transition.
How it is used
The official security docs describe AWS credential-file and credential-process modes. Leapp can generate temporary credentials through STS, rotate them, and configure AWS credential_process entries such as credential_process=leapp session generate SESSION_ID for tools that use the AWS credential chain.
Why package nerds care
leapp-cli is notable in package indexes because it packages identity and cloud-credential session management as a local developer tool, bridging GUI-based cloud access, AWS credential files, AWS credential_process, and command-line automation.
