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 "$(aws2-wrap --profile MySSOProfile --export)"`, or a `credential_process = aws2-wrap --process --profile ` entry in `.aws/config`. The README also documents generating temporary profile sections into `$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 - 2020-01: Public GitHub repository created. - 2020-01: aws2-wrap 1.0.0 uploaded to PyPI. - 2023-12: aws2-wrap 1.4.0 uploaded to PyPI. - 2025-08: GitHub repository last pushed and marked archived. ### 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. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
