Exciting News: AWS Introduces Multi-Session Support in the AWS Management Console!¶
I am thrilled to share that AWS has rolled out a fantastic new feature in the AWS Management Console — Multi-Session Support!
This innovative addition allows users to sign in to up to five different identities simultaneously within a single web browser. Whether you're managing multiple AWS accounts or juggling various roles within the same account, this feature is designed to streamline your workflow and enhance productivity.
Key Highlights:¶
- Multi-Session Capability: Sign in to up to five different identities at once. These can be any combination of root, IAM, or federated roles across different accounts or within the same account.
- Separate Instances: Each identity opens its own instance of the AWS Management Console in a new tab, making it easier to manage multiple sessions without confusion.
- Easy Opt-In: To enable multi-session support, simply choose "Turn on multi-session" in the account menu or enable it on the AWS Management Console. Remember, this opt-in is browser-specific, so you'll need to enable it separately for each browser you use.
- Seamless Transition: Once enabled, the console URL will include a subdomain, so be sure to update your bookmarks and console links accordingly.
This feature is a game-changer for AWS users who need to manage multiple accounts or roles efficiently. By allowing simultaneous sign-ins, AWS is making it easier than ever to navigate and manage your cloud resources.
