cloudposse/atmos v1.211.0-rc.0

on GitHub

• Add isolated browser sessions support to atmos auth console
• New pkg/browser/ package with cross-platform Chrome detection and browser opening
• Chrome detection on macOS (apps in /Applications), Linux (PATH search), and Windows (Program Files paths)
• Isolated browser opener using Chrome's --user-data-dir for per-identity browser contexts
• New --isolated flag on atmos auth console command
• Global configuration support via auth.console.isolated_sessions in atmos.yaml
• Session directories are deterministic (hash of realm + identity), allowing session reuse

why

Users frequently need to work with multiple cloud accounts simultaneously (e.g., comparing configs, debugging cross-account issues). Cloud providers enforce single-session per browser context, forcing users to log out/in when switching accounts. Isolated sessions solve this by giving each identity its own Chrome profile via --user-data-dir, allowing multiple console sessions without logout friction.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Isolated browser sessions for the auth console so multiple identities can be open simultaneously without logout conflicts.
  • New --isolated flag for per-command isolated sessions and auth.console.isolated_sessions for global control.
  • Deterministic per-identity session directories so sessions are reused per identity.
  • Graceful fallback to the default browser if Chrome/Chromium is unavailable; clearer status messages when opening fails.

• Documentation

  • CLI docs, config docs, PRD, and blog post added/updated with usage examples and guidance.

• Refactor

  • Improved browser-opening flow for more reliable, testable launches and better error surfacing.
