Credential Factory

This tool mints short-lived credentials that administrators can use to work safely from their laptops. Most folks access it by running eval $(substrate credentials) in their terminal. Alternatively, the Instance Factory launches EC2 instances with the same privileges as these credentials that administrators can use to work in the cloud.

Paste this into a shell to set environment variables (taking care to preserve the leading space to keep it out of your ~/.bash_history):

 export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="{{.AccessKeyID}}" AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="{{.SecretAccessKey}}" AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="{{.SessionToken}}"

Access Key ID {{.AccessKeyID}}
Secret Access Key {{.SecretAccessKey}}
Session Token {{.SessionToken}}
Expires {{.Expires}}

which will expire in 12 hours
