Access the AWS console
First ensure that your access has been set up by the team. If you need to add someone to the GovWifi AWS account follow this guide.
Access is via gds-users, and then assuming your role from the GovWifi account. You must be on the VPN to access the console.
Staging and Production are hosted in different AWS accounts.
Ask the reliability engineers for the GovWifi account IDs. AWS roles are in the form firstname.lastname-admin or firstname.lastname-readonly.
Using gds-cli
This utility is being replaced with cod-cli (https://github.com/GovWifi/cod-cli).
The remainder of this section is retained until everyone has migrated to cod-cli
You can also use the gds-cli to access the GovWifi AWS console.
Review the configuration instructions on the gds-cli README to set it up. Note: gds-cli may be aliased to gds. Indepth guidance on setting up the gds-cli can be found on GDS’s help pages.
Once the gds-cli is set up, run the following command from anywhere in your terminal to login as read-only to Production:
$ gds aws govwifi-readonly -l
If you have admin privileges in the Production AWS account, you can run a similar command to login as admin:
$ gds aws govwifi -l
You can login as read-only to Staging by running the following command:
$ gds aws govwifi-staging-readonly -l
You can login as admin to Staging by running the following command:
$ gds aws govwifi-staging -l
You can login as admin to Development by running the following command:
$ gds aws govwifi-development -l
You can login as admin to Tools by running the following command:
$ gds aws govwifi-tools -l
You can login as admin to Recovery by running the following command:
$ gds aws govwifi-recovery -l
