Looks great! If you have multiple AWS accounts in your org, you probably want to use something like aws-sso-util to populate your profiles so you can quickly swap between them

bcb_1000 on HNI didn’t take code or reverse-engineer anything from that Reddit project, and I wasn’t aware of it when I started. I’ve been a long-term k9s user, and the motivation was simply:…
