AWS Local Proxy

[smallinsky]

What

Add support for AWS local proxy in order to handler AWS access from third party applications like terraform.

How

the tsh proxy aws command should be introduced allowing to start the AWS proxy manually.

AWS profile currently does NOT support endpoint url: aws/aws-cli#4454
AWS environment currently does NOT support endpoint url: aws/aws-cli#4454

so if the client is using AWS SDK (terraform for e.g.), there is currently no generic way to make it work.

if the client is aws cli, maybe best we can do is this alias hack mentioned in the above issue alias aws='aws --endpoint-url http://website'. or use awslocal which is intended for localstack.

for terraform, has to specify extra endpoint block

  endpoints {
    dynamodb = "http://localhost:4569"
    s3       = "http://localhost:4572"
  }

@greedy52 Yes, for terraform users will need to use custom endpoints which is fine. Let's not worry about supporting plain aws client, tsh aws already does basically what you've described.

[greedy52]

@r0mant yeah, we should certainly have this local aws proxy. Just pointing out that since there is no generic way for specifying the endpoint url, client apps will need some extra configurations on their side and it will be different from client by client. I will try out different ones as many as I can.
