Awskeyring as a Gem.

Using Awskeyring as a Gem

Awskeyring has been created to also be used as a Gem (ruby Library) that can be embedded in other applications. The interactions with the AWS API are all contained in a module and documented on Ruby Doc. An example repo called Vaulttool show's how this can be done.

Example snippet

One example of using Awskeyring as a credential_provider to the AWS-SDK's STS Client.

require 'awskeyring/credential_provider'

client = Aws::STS::Client.new(
  credentials: Awskeyring::CredentialProvider.new("company-acc")
)

Another example is to open the AWS console in your browser with access keys from you environment.

login_url = Awskeyring::Awsapi.get_login_url(
  key: ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
  secret: ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
  token: ENV['AWS_SESSION_TOKEN'],
  path: 'ec2/v2',
  user: ENV['USER']
)
pid = Process.spawn("open \"#{login_url}\"")
Process.wait pid
