## Historique du projet et usages

aws-rotate-key is a small Go CLI for rotating AWS IAM access keys stored in the shared AWS credentials file.

### Historique du projet

The public repository begins in September 2016 with commits that create a new key, replace the old key in the credentials file, inspect last-used metadata, and add the README. Its purpose has remained narrow: automate a security best-practice task that is easy to perform incorrectly by hand.

### Historique d'adoption

The README documents binaries from GitHub Releases, Homebrew installation on macOS, a PPA for Ubuntu, and go install. That packaging mix reflects a utility meant for individual operators and small automation scripts rather than a larger platform.

### Modes d'utilisation

The tool reads AWS credentials from the credentials file, lists the IAM user's access keys, explains the planned rotation steps, waits for confirmation unless told otherwise, writes the new key pair back to the credentials file, and deactivates or deletes the old key.

It supports profile selection, an alternate authentication profile, MFA, automatic yes-to-prompts, and deleting rather than deactivating the old key.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Its package-manager appeal is that it turns a fussy IAM/API sequence into one binary with few moving parts. The downside for maintainers is that it edits credentials directly, so provenance and version trust matter more than the code size suggests.

### Chronologie

- 2016: Initial public commits implement key creation and credentials-file replacement.
- 2016: v1.0.0 tag appears.
- 2024: Current code uses AWS SDK for Go v2 modules in go.mod.

### Related projects

- AWS IAM access-key rotation guidance and AWS CLI shared credentials files are the upstream AWS surfaces the tool automates.
