SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCESSING CLOUD RESOURCES FROM A LOCAL DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

A method for accessing cloud resources via a local application development environment on a computing device. The method includes invoking an access management client at the computing device; obtaining an account identifier associated with a user account and communicating the account identifier to an identity platform; receiving an authentication message from the identity platform in response to the identity platform validating the account identifier, the authentication message comprising a role identifier; communicating the authentication message to the cloud platform; receiving security credentials associated with the role identifier from the cloud platform in response to the cloud platform validating the authentication message and the associated role identifier; setting a variable in the local development environment based on the received security credentials for use by the local development environment to request access to one or more resources maintained by the cloud platform.
