With the AWS CLI you can assume a role using the --profile
parameter:
aws --profile <profile_name> <service> <command>
e.g.:
aws --profile admin s3 ls s3://mybucket/
That profile can be an AWS role that os to be assumed. My problem with that is that the session of the role is only valid for one hour by default. Is there a way of explicitly setting the session duration without using the sts
service directly?
