About AWS Vault

AWS Vault is a tool to securely store and access AWS credentials in a development environment.

AWS Vault stores IAM credentials in your operating system's secure keystore and then generates
temporary credentials from those to expose to your shell and applications. It's designed to be
complementary to the AWS CLI tools, and is aware of your profiles and configuration in
~/.aws/config.
