aws-vault: List profiles, along with their credentials and sessions.

aws-vault

$ aws-vault list

try on your machine

The aws-vault list command is used to display a list of saved profiles in the aws-vault configuration.

aws-vault is a command-line tool that helps manage AWS access credentials securely. It allows you to store AWS access keys in an encrypted manner and use them with different AWS profiles.

When you run aws-vault list, it checks the configuration file where profiles are stored (usually located at ~/.aws/config or ~/.aws/credentials), and retrieves the names of all the configured profiles. It then displays these profile names in the terminal.

The list will include all the AWS profiles you have previously added using aws-vault, as well as any profiles configured in the AWS configuration. The profiles provide information such as the AWS access key, secret access key, and other details required to authenticate with AWS services.
