reading access keys from awscli config?

[mbravorus]

Hello again,

wouldn't it be more secure and convenient if the script could read access keys from standard awscli config (perhaps even including the profile feature?)

[yegor256]

Can you give a link to "standard awscli config"? Never heard about it :)

[mbravorus]

Sure, head right here - https://github.com/aws/aws-cli
and check the Getting Started section :)

TL;DR version - it is a plain old text config residing in ~/.aws/config, with "profiles" defined as [profilename] sections and access variables in the form of key=value

[yegor256]

Aha, good idea, thanks. I'll try to implement it

@yegor256 bumping this issue, could you support the --profile argument or AWS_PROFILE environment variable. they all pull from ~/.aws/credentials

[yegor256]

@AlJohri maybe you can contribute with a pull request?

@yegor256 I currently went with https://github.com/mapbox/dyno/ which uses the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. ex: dyno scan us-east-1/your-table-name-here

I'll revisit this if I have need for dynamo-archive in the future. thanks!
