history

Project history and usage

`aws2-wrap` is a small Python wrapper for using AWS CLI v2 SSO credentials with tools that did not understand SSO profile entries. It can run commands, export credentials, generate temporary AWS config/credentials profiles, and provide a `credential_process` bridge.

Project history

The public repository was created in January 2020, and PyPI shows aws2-wrap 1.0.0 uploaded a few days later. The README explains that the name refers to AWS CLI v2, even though the CLI binary is no longer called `aws2`.

By June 2026 the GitHub repository was archived, making it best understood as a transitional utility from the early AWS CLI v2 SSO period rather than an actively expanding AWS credential platform.

Adoption history

The package reached PyPI and Homebrew, but Homebrew analytics showed only single-digit 30-day installs in June 2026. That fits its niche: it is valuable when a legacy tool cannot consume SSO profile data, but it is less central once AWS SDKs and tools improve native SSO support.

How it is used

Typical usage is `aws2-wrap --profile MySSOProfile terraform plan`, `eval "$(aws2-wrap --profile MySSOProfile --export)"`, or a `credential_process = aws2-wrap --process --profile <profile>` entry in `.aws/config`. The README also documents generating temporary profile sections into `$AWS_CONFIG_FILE` and `$AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE`.

Why package nerds care

Its significance is its smallness: `aws2-wrap` is essentially a compatibility shim that exists because package ecosystems move at different speeds. For maintainers, it is a good example of a tool whose best history is the gap it closed, not a sprawling feature set.

Timeline

Related projects

`aws-sso-util credential-process` and AWS CLI v2 native SSO support solve overlapping compatibility problems.
`aws-vault` and `aws-sso-cli` are broader credential-management tools rather than a narrow wrapper.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
