AWS CLI 1.11.24 or higher, see AWS CLI User Guide for more info.

Use awscli.sh script to install / update AWS CLI if yours is out of date. Use aws --version to verify.

$ mkdir -p GitHub; cd GitHub
$ git clone https://github.com/LanikSJ/awscli-aliases
$ mkdir -p ~/.aws/cli
$ ln -sf ~/GitHub/awscli-aliases/alias ~/.aws/cli/alias

aws whoami

Same as aws sts get-caller-identity

Output:

{
    "Account": "1234567890",
    "UserId": "AROAJGILZWBHUUPCERBWY",
    "Arn": "arn:aws:sts::1234567890:user/UserId"
}

If you would like to try the aliases in a docker container and already have AWS CLI installed:

$docker run -v ~/.aws/credentials:/root/.aws/credentials:ro -it laniksj/awscli-aliases whoami

Please report any bugs or issues you find. Thanks!
