## 项目历史与用法

aws-rotate-key is a small Go CLI for rotating AWS IAM access keys stored in the shared AWS credentials file.

### 项目历史

The public repository begins in September 2016 with commits that create a new key, replace the old key in the credentials file, inspect last-used metadata, and add the README. Its purpose has remained narrow: automate a security best-practice task that is easy to perform incorrectly by hand.

### 采用历史

The README documents binaries from GitHub Releases, Homebrew installation on macOS, a PPA for Ubuntu, and go install. That packaging mix reflects a utility meant for individual operators and small automation scripts rather than a larger platform.

### 使用方式

The tool reads AWS credentials from the credentials file, lists the IAM user's access keys, explains the planned rotation steps, waits for confirmation unless told otherwise, writes the new key pair back to the credentials file, and deactivates or deletes the old key.

It supports profile selection, an alternate authentication profile, MFA, automatic yes-to-prompts, and deleting rather than deactivating the old key.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Its package-manager appeal is that it turns a fussy IAM/API sequence into one binary with few moving parts. The downside for maintainers is that it edits credentials directly, so provenance and version trust matter more than the code size suggests.

### 时间线

- 2016: Initial public commits implement key creation and credentials-file replacement.
- 2016: v1.0.0 tag appears.
- 2024: Current code uses AWS SDK for Go v2 modules in go.mod.

### Related projects

- AWS IAM access-key rotation guidance and AWS CLI shared credentials files are the upstream AWS surfaces the tool automates.
