Sessions

CloudKit keeps one active AWS profile and one active gcloud configuration per terminal. Switching in one terminal never affects another.

Pick an AWS profile from ~/.aws/config, run an SSO login if the token is missing or expired, and show the session table.

ck aws login

Account      1234-5678-9012
Profile      dev-admin
Region       eu-west-1
Identity     SSO AdministratorAccess as jane@example.com
Credentials  SSO · expires 2026-10-21 14:20 UTC (in 7h 12m)

Profiles are listed if they use SSO (sso_session / sso_account_id), access keys, or credential_process, including chained roles.

ck aws switch

Switch this terminal to another AWS profile.

ck aws switch

ck aws sso

Shortcut for aws sso login --profile <profile>.

ck aws sso my-profile

ck aws logout

Clear the AWS session from this terminal.

ck aws logout

Pick a gcloud configuration, authenticate if needed, and show the session table.

ck gcloud login
ck gcloud login --reauth     # force re-authentication

The selection applies to the current terminal only (via CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME). New terminals start with no gcloud session until you run ck gcloud login. Set CLOUDKIT_GCLOUD_GLOBAL=1 to use gcloud’s global configuration instead.

ck gcloud switch

Switch this terminal to another gcloud configuration.

ck gcloud switch

ck gcloud logout

Clear the gcloud session from this terminal.

ck gcloud logout

Prompt and production marker

While a session is active, your prompt is prefixed with [profile:region] for AWS and [gcloud:account:project] for gcloud.

Turn the prompt changes off with CLOUDKIT_NO_PROMPT=1 if you use Starship or Powerlevel10k.

ck status

Show the active AWS and gcloud sessions in this terminal. It makes no network calls.
