Usage

Usage: cloudglance <command> [options]

Commands:
  cloudglance --aws-profile-name=<profile-name>  Used to identify the Cloud Glance profile that is associated with AWS profile name.

Options:
  --return-credential-process  Returns STS credentials according to the AWS credential_process format               
  --help                       Show help                               
  --version                    Show version number                     

Examples:

Get STS credentials for the associated Cloud Glance Profile. Returns them according to the credential_process format.

cloudglance --aws-profile-name=my-profile --return-credential-process  

The Cloud Glance CLI is used for reading temporary STS credentials from profiles as managed by Cloud Glance. If the profile has encrypted AWS secret values, then Cloud Glance would have added the credentials_process property to that profile so that it can use the CLI to communicate with Cloud Glance.

This means you can continue to use your aws ... CLI commands as per usual. If you have MFA or SSO session, the CLI will prompt and wait until you have completed the required action in Cloud Glance before returning the temporary STS credentials.
