+# aws
+
+This plugin provides completion support for [awscli](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/index.html)
+and a few utilities to manage AWS profiles and display them in the prompt.
+
+To use it, add `aws` to the plugins array in your zshrc file.
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... aws)
+```
+
+## Plugin commands
+
+* `asp [<profile>]`: sets `$AWS_PROFILE` and `$AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE` (legacy) to `<profile>`.
+ It also sets `$AWS_EB_PROFILE` to `<profile>` for the Elastic Beanstalk CLI.
+ Run `asp` without arguments to clear the profile.
+* `asp [<profile>] login`: If AWS SSO has been configured in your aws profile, it will run the `aws sso login` command following profile selection.
+
+* `acp [<profile>] [<mfa_token>]`: in addition to `asp` functionality, it actually changes
+ the profile by assuming the role specified in the `<profile>` configuration. It supports
+ MFA and sets `$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` and `$AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`, if
+ obtained. It requires the roles to be configured as per the
+ [official guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-role.html).
+ Run `acp` without arguments to clear the profile.
+
+* `agp`: gets the current value of `$AWS_PROFILE`.
+
+* `aws_change_access_key`: changes the AWS access key of a profile.
+
+* `aws_profiles`: lists the available profiles in the `$AWS_CONFIG_FILE` (default: `~/.aws/config`).
+ Used to provide completion for the `asp` function.
+
+## Plugin options
+
+* Set `SHOW_AWS_PROMPT=false` in your zshrc file if you want to prevent the plugin from modifying your RPROMPT.
+ Some themes might overwrite the value of RPROMPT instead of appending to it, so they'll need to be fixed to
+ see the AWS profile prompt.
+
+## Theme
+
+The plugin creates an `aws_prompt_info` function that you can use in your theme, which displays
+the current `$AWS_PROFILE`. It uses two variables to control how that is shown:
+
+* ZSH_THEME_AWS_PREFIX: sets the prefix of the AWS_PROFILE. Defaults to `<aws:`.
+
+* ZSH_THEME_AWS_SUFFIX: sets the suffix of the AWS_PROFILE. Defaults to `>`.
+
+## Configuration
+
+[Configuration and credential file settings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-files.html) by AWS
+
+### Scenario: IAM roles with a source profile and MFA authentication
+
+Source profile credentials in `~/.aws/credentials`:
+
+```
+[source-profile-name]
+aws_access_key_id = ...
+aws_secret_access_key = ...
+```
+
+Role configuration in `~/.aws/config`:
+
+```
+[profile source-profile-name]
+mfa_serial = arn:aws:iam::111111111111:mfa/myuser
+region = us-east-1
+output = json
+
+[profile profile-with-role]
+role_arn = arn:aws:iam::9999999999999:role/myrole
+mfa_serial = arn:aws:iam::111111111111:mfa/myuser
+source_profile = source-profile-name
+region = us-east-1
+output = json
+```
