Switch & Leapp-cli - AWS session management 100% command line
I have used awsume a long time. Then I got a new Macbook and lost 1/2 hour installing different python versions. So I programmed switchaws in go to get a single executable. And, yes: I declare guilty of the "not invented here" syndrom :) .

Script or software that automatically populate specific profile in ~/.aws/credentials
Bonus comment: After setting up your aws credentials, have a look at awsume, which makes rapid switches between accounts and roles a lot easier.. :)

Falling for Kubernetes
Has anyone on AWS gotten k9s to work with Awsume [0] authentication?

Learning AWS from a GCP Background
Learn how to WORK with AWS well, for instance set up Awsume (https://awsu.me/, install the Switch Roles extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aws-extend-switch-roles/jpmkfafbacpgapdghgdpembnojdlgkdl). Try to make working with it as painless as possible. I went through a long phase of bitching and hating AWS but I've recently just given in.

My Most Loved AWS Developer Tools & Resources
Haven’t tried Leapp, not sure how I’d feel about needing to swap to a UI every time. I’m a huge fan of Awsume

AWS identity and access management
💡 When working with different accounts and/or roles and enabled MFA, it's recommendable to get some tooling support. I love working with AWSume in this case. It's easy to set up and really intuitive to work with.

My favourite CDK parameter for large deployments is...
Together with awsume and cdkstat I can have a terminal dashboard if a want to monitor the deployment on multiple accounts:

Getting AWS CLI credentials through Okta SSO?
I got gimme-aws-creds (https://github.com/Nike-Inc/gimme-aws-creds) to authenticate via Okta - but no AWS roles are found in the SAML response. It works fine through the AWS console.

How to use AWS CLI with Okta?
Gimme creds works nicely: https://github.com/Nike-Inc/gimme-aws-creds

Securing AWS API credentials and access to AWS API
AWS has always lagged behind is offering reasonable native authentication options to its console and CLI. In order to support something like "yubikey" you need to go with another authentication and authorization provider such as Okta which provides support for a wide variety of MFA options. Then you can also use open source tooling such as https://github.com/Nike-Inc/gimme-aws-creds to grab temporary credentials. Okta is the one I'm most familiar but there are others out there as well.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing awsume and gimme-aws-creds you can also consider the following projects:
aws-vault - A vault for securely storing and accessing AWS credentials in development environments
saml2aws - CLI tool which enables you to login and retrieve AWS temporary credentials using a SAML IDP
aws-runas - aws-runas rewritten in Go
aws-extend-switch-roles - Extend your AWS IAM switching roles by Chrome extension, Firefox add-on, or Edge add-on
okta-aws-cli-assume-role - Okta AWS CLI Assume Role Tool
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
