Console’s review

What we like

Uses existing auth options (AWS SSO, credentials, config, env-vars) with multiple profile and region support. Supports lots of resource types (compute, databases, networking, logs). Vim-style navigation and commands. Provides detailed (JSON/YAML) views of resources. Filtering and pagination.

Tradeoffs

Doesn’t support all resources, so may have some limitations depending on your AWS service usage.

Topics covered: Single sign-on
