AWS STS — Security Token Service

AWS provides a very important web service & we use it indirectly almost everyday. Though one may also use it directly also and it is famous the AWS STS service. The most common use cases where it is used is as below:-

• Cross Account resource access
• SSO/ Federation
• Switch role on management console
• AWS service(linked) roles to access other AWS services

I have created a very basic program that can help us generate AWS console url & it can be used by at least smaller companies(and individuals) that cannot afford the setup of heavy enterprise level SSO systems, which can be tough to maintain, both monetarily and effectively.

The above code can be daily used by individuals & developers like you and me to automatically go to console without needing to remember username, password & obviously without needing to fill in the username, password.
