  "github_readme_excerpt": "# IAMy\n\nIAMy is a tool for dumping and loading your AWS IAM configuration into YAML files.\n\nThis allows you to use an [Infrastructure as Code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_as_Code) model to manage your IAM configuration. For example, you might use a github repo with a pull request model for changes to IAM config.\n\n\n## How it works\n\nIAMy has two subcommands.\n\n`pull` will sync IAM users, groups and policies from AWS to YAML files\n\n`push` will sync IAM users, groups and policies from YAML files to AWS\n\nFor the `push` command, IAMy will output an execution plan as a series of [`aws` cli](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) commands which can be optionally executed. This turns out to be a very direct and understandable way to display the changes to be made, and means you can pick and choose exactly what commands get actioned.\n\n\n## Getting started\n\nYou can install IAMy on macOS with `brew install iamy`, or with the go toolchain `go get -u github.com/99designs/iamy`.\n\nBecause IAMy uses the [aws cli tool](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/), you\u0027ll want to install it first.\n\nFor configuration, IAMy uses the same [AWS environment variables](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-environment.html) as the aws cli. You might find [aws-vault](https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault) an excellent complementary tool for managing AWS credentials.\n\n\n## Example Usage\n\n```bash\n$ iamy pull\n\n$ find .\n./myaccount-123456789/iam/user/joe.yml\n\n$ mkdir -p myaccount-123456789/iam/user/foo\n\n$ touch myaccount-123456789/iam/user/foo/bar.baz\n\n$ cat \u003c\u003c EOD \u003e myaccount-123456789/iam/user/billy.blogs\nPolicies:\n- arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/ReadOnly\nEOD\n\n$ iamy push\nCommands to push changes to AWS:\n        aws iam create-user --path /foo --user-name bar.baz\n        aws iam create-user --user-name billy.blogs\n        aws iam attach-user-policy --user-name billy.blogs --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/ReadOnly\n\nExec all aws commands? (y/N) y\n\n\u003e aws iam create-user --path /foo --user-name b",
