The AWS CLI Configure extension allows you to quickly access AWS CLI information and docs from Visual Studio Code.

Features

• Browse the online docs
• Show [named] profile mapped to [default] in 'credentials'
• Set 'credentials' [default] profile to...
• Copy profile name from 'credentials'...

Commands

Copy profile name

Show named profile mapped to default

• Saving the 'credentials' file from VSCode or setting the default profile updates the status bar.
• Click the item in the status bar to set the [default] profile to a [named] profile.

Set default profile

To be able to set the [default] profile to a named profile, in the 'credentials' file each profile section must contain only two entries following one of these formats:

• aws_access_key_id & aws_secret_access_key
• role_arn & source_profile

This sample shows the master-profile in one account that uses an access key and secret and three role profiles each in a seperate account that references the master-profile as the source profile.

The [default] profile is set to qa-profile.

Put region and other entries in the config file. If a section in credentials includes more than the required two entries and you try to set the default profile to it, you will get the following error:
