AWS Vault

A vault for securely storing and accessing AWS credentials in development environments

Issues

After upgrading to v6.5.0 I get the following error when trying to create a session:

aws-vault: error: exec: Failed to get credentials for mindhive-ops: operation error STS: GetSessionToken, failed to resolve service endpoint, an AWS region is required, but was not found

I have worked around this by adding the following to my .aws/config:

[default]
region=ap-southeast-2

In Windows, this file can be found by default in C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\.aws\config

Source: STS fails due to missing region after upgrade to v6.5.0 #866
