rotate-aws-keys

AWS IAM access key rotation is handled by generating a self-contained bash script that reads current credentials, creates new keys, updates the credentials file, and verifies functionality. You run the command and follow prompts to produce the script for review before execution.

Yes, AWS CLI and jq are required dependencies for IAM access key rotation. The generated bash script checks for these prerequisites on your machine to ensure it can successfully read credentials, parse JSON outputs, and verify key propagation.

If new AWS access key verification fails during rotation, the process includes rollback instructions. This safety mechanism ensures you can revert to the previous working credentials and avoid being locked out of your IAM user account.

Yes, you can review the bash script before execution. This Skill produces a self-contained script for rotating AWS IAM access keys rather than directly executing AWS commands, allowing you to inspect the credential reading and key update logic beforehand.

Safely updating AWS credentials involves using an automated script that reads the current key from ~/.aws/credentials, creates a new key, updates the file, and verifies the new key. This method ensures IAM propagation is checked before completing the rotation.
