A tool to print out AWS account and identity information to verify which account/organization is currently in use.

Whereas aws sts get-caller-identity only prints the account number, aws-account resovled the account id to the actual account name via calling aws sso list-accounts --access-token ... (i.e. the python boto3 equivalent) when the identity is an 'assumed role' with a SSO login.

This is meant to be especially helpful when working with multiple AWS accounts e.g. within an AWS Organization and/or across organizations.

Recommended to install via pipx

pipx install aws-account
