My work ritual every morning:
1. Power on laptop (it is powered off every day at 5 PM).
2. Log into VPN.
3. Log into Okta.
4. Log into AWS accounts, one per container (about 7 or 8).
5. Log into Docker Desktop.
6. Log into AWS CLI to get daily credentials.
The whole thing takes about 3-4 minutes. A former colleague referred to this as my "mise en place", or my daily arranging of my working environment. Like the article suggests, I find this offers me a "centering" before I open my email, calendar and missed chat messages and get started for the day.
- rkagerer 7mo agoI'm glad it helps you center. But does anyone else think it's crazy how many logons you need to do on a repetitive basis?
- caminante 7mo agoI know you mean crazy bad, but only needing 3-4 minutes is crazy good. Go ask your baker how early they had to arrive to make sure your croissan'wich was ready at 8:23 AM.
- theshrike79 7mo agoAll of this should be just a matter of plugging in a $device into your computer that proves you are you. Then every other service should trust that and just log you in automatically.
- tokenless 7mo agoAll that should just happen. Unless it is FedRAMP or something insane like that.
- nebezb 7mo agoI have set my own cli credentials ttl to 8 hours and require 2FA to refresh. Once daily works fine for me. It all takes ~30 seconds, really.
- 3eb7988a1663 7mo agoDo those stay logged in for extended amounts of time? Most of my "serious" accounts have expiration times of an hour, so I only ever login when required.
- ryan-duve 7mo agoThey're all set for the day. I probably wouldn't do it if I had to log in every hour.
- aavci 7mo agoWhat is your VPN setup like?

- Topgamer7 7mo agoHello internet friend. I may be able to make your life easier for 4. You can use aws vault to open the aws console using roles: aws-vault --help usage: aws-vault [<flags>] <command> [<args> ...] ... login [<flags>] [<profile>] Generate a login link for the AWS Console. Which when combined with this plugin: https://github.com/blimmer/zsh-aws-vault https://github.com/blimmer/zsh-aws-vault You can just to `avli some-role` and it will pop up in the browser in a new profile. The only downside here is that you can't combine them into one window. But it takes the pain out of logging in, and 2 factor, etc.
