AWS SSO has made it incredibly easy for us to secure and manage access to (and switch between) all our AWS accounts in the org. I'm a huge fan and recommend it

- tpmx 4y agoThey recently rebranded it to the super-catchy "AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS SSO)". Gotta love Seattle-based tech marketing people, presumably trained at Microsoft. :) I guess it will soon be the default user management system, and 'proper' IAM will be the low-level one. I see this as a reaction towards GCP's IMHO superior UX/system design in this aspect. I don't think they can entirely catch up because of early and bad architectural decisions regarding projects/accounts. Also a fan, so far.
- macintux 4y agoI was originally skeptical when we implemented it because for safety reasons I wanted it to be painfully obvious when I was switching contexts. It's definitely grown on me, but I frequently emphasize to my teammates that I'd much rather they specify their AWS_PROFILE for each command they run, instead of exporting it into their environment. Especially using Windows and setx seems like an open invitation for disaster.
