aws.el

Build Status

Emacs major modes wrapping the AWS CLI.

aws.el is a magit style interface to the AWS command line client. It makes heavy use of of the transient package and tabulated-list-mode to make the AWS command line interface as discoverable, easy and fast to navigate as possible.

Install

This is a free time projects of mine, which is still in the very beginning and I currently add functionality as I see use cases for it in my day to day life. Therefore I don't want to add it to a package repository like melpa yet, because I see it as pre-alpha software at the moment.

However you could either use straight.el or directly clone it from Github and load it via use-package like I do:

(use-package aws-mode
  :bind ;; some functions which make sense to bind to something
  ("C-c a a" . aws)
  ("C-c a l" . aws-login)
  ("C-c a n" . aws-organizations-get-account-name)
  ("C-c a i" . aws-organizations-get-account-id)
  :load-path "~/.emacs.d/packages/awscli"
  :custom
  (aws-vault t) ;; when t use aws-vault cmd to get into aws session
  (aws-output "json") ;; optional: yaml, json, text (default: yaml)
  (aws-organizations-account "root")) ;; profile of organizations account. organizations commands are automatically executed against this account, when specified

(use-package aws-evil
  :after (aws-mode evil)
  :load-path "~/.emacs.d/packages/awscli")

Design

The general design is to have a tabulated list view for every AWS CLI supported service, which lists up the existing resources of that service.

You should be able to interact with each element of the list via different key presses. Flags and additional arguments should be easily activated in transient views (See screenshot).

You should also always be able to press ? in every tabulated list view to get a help menu (See screenshot), which shows all the possible actions and the respective shortcut.

This general Emacs Mode design should make it possible to learn the package just by navigating around and typing ?. As you get familiar with shortcuts you should be able to navigate and do actions a lot faster then typing out the commands in the AWS CLI itself.

Help Menu Lambda

Configuration

Activate aws-vault for profiles

Set (aws-vault t) to use aws-vault to login to a profile. (aws-vault nil) or omitting the setting uses the --profile flag of the AWS CLI itself.

Current Limitations

AWS-Vault MFA Shell Prompts don't work in aws.el

For now set the AWS_VAULT_PROMPT environment variable to a UI utility like osascript.
