For what it’s worth, the recommended way of getting credentials for AWS would be either:

1. Piggyback of your existing auth infra (eg: ActiveDirectory or whatever you already have going on for user auth) 2. Failing that use identity center to create user auth in AWS itself

Either way means that your machine gets temporary credentials only

Alternatively, we could write an AWS CLI helper to store the stuff into the keychain (maybe someone has)

Not to take away from your more general point

We need flatpak for CLI tools

Snap works with CLI tools. But underneath that, isn't it AppArmor and namespaces? (I don't really know. I'm getting the impression flatpak-style process isolation is possible just not widely adopted)
