aws-google-auth: Log in with Google SSO using the IDP and SP identifiers and set the credentials duration to one hour.
$ aws-google-auth -u ${example@example-com} -I ${$GOOGLE_IDP_ID} -S ${$GOOGLE_SP_ID} -d ${3600}
try on your machine
The command you provided is not a valid AWS CLI command. It appears to be a combination of the "aws-google-auth" command and variable substitutions using the "${}" syntax.
However, let's break it down to understand each part separately:
aws-google-auth
: This is not a native AWS CLI command. It might refer to a third-party tool or a custom script that provides authentication between AWS and Google accounts.-u ${example@example-com}
: This flag is likely used to specify the username or email associated with the Google account that will be authenticated.-I ${$GOOGLE_IDP_ID}
: This flag seems to represent the Identity Provider (IDP) ID or name that identifies the Google Identity Provider within the authentication process. The value used is the result of a substitution from a variable named "$GOOGLE_IDP_ID" (although there is an extra "$" symbol in the substitution syntax, which is unnecessary).-S ${$GOOGLE_SP_ID}
: This flag likely signifies the Service Provider (SP) ID or name, which identifies the Google Service Provider within the authentication process. The value used is again obtained through a variable substitution from "$GOOGLE_SP_ID" (with an extra "$" symbol).-d ${3600}
: This flag might represent the duration of the authentication token or session. The value used is 3600 seconds, which is equivalent to 1 hour in this case. It is again obtained through variable substitution from the "${3600}" expression.
In summary, the command you provided seems to be invoking a custom or third-party tool named "aws-google-auth" with various flags to initiate Google account authentication for AWS access. The exact behavior and purpose of the command can only be determined by referring to the documentation or source code of the tool itself.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
