Introducing atmos auth shell: Isolated Shell Sessions for Secure Multi-Identity Workflows
· 7 min read
We're excited to introduce atmos auth shell, a new command that makes working with multiple cloud identities more secure.
This command launches isolated shell sessions scoped to specific cloud identities. Think of it like aws-vault exec, but for all your cloud identities managed by Atmos—AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, SAML, and more.
When you exit the shell, you return to your parent shell where those credentials were never present. It's a simple pattern that helps prevent credential leakage and reduces the risk of running commands against the wrong environment.
