Ellosoft Limited

Ellosoft Limited is a small, developer-focused software publisher whose single public offering, the Ellosoft AWS Credentials Manager CLI, addresses a narrow but critical friction point in cloud engineering workflows: the repetitive, error-prone chore of refreshing temporary AWS credentials when single-sign-on is mediated by Okta. Instead of forcing engineers to copy and paste SAML assertions or wrestle with browser plug-ins, the lightweight command-line utility negotiates the Okta handshake in the background, writes the resulting short-lived keys to the standard AWS credentials file, and optionally rotates them on a schedule. Typical use cases include DevOps teams running Terraform or Packer inside CI containers, data scientists spinning up SageMaker notebooks from local IDEs, and site-reliability engineers who need cross-account assume-role chains scripted into nightly batch jobs. By treating SSO session duration and MFA prompts as configurable flags, the tool slots neatly into both interactive terminal sessions and headless automation pipelines, eliminating the temptation to hard-code long-lived secrets. Although the portfolio is currently limited to this one utility, its open-source GitHub presence signals a commitment to solving granular infrastructure pain points rather than sprawling across broad categories. Ellosoft AWS Credentials Manager CLI is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always resolve to the latest upstream release, and can be installed individually or batched alongside other applications in a single operation.
