LocalStack

LocalStack emulates AWS services on your machine. A LocalStack session writes the dummy credentials LocalStack expects into ~/.aws/credentials, so your tools can reach local resources through a named profile.

You need to install LocalStack first.

Create the session

1. Click + in the top bar.
2. Select LocalStack as the cloud provider.
3. Give the session a name and click Create Session.

To use the profile from the AWS CLI, keep the CLI up to date.
