TLDR;

A lot when sideways creating this script. Although I find AI is generally helping me write code faster — you have to know what it’s doing, test it, and check it for unwanted additions or subtractions.

Do not blindly create IAM resources with AI.

Run this script to create:

• A User
• A secret with a randomly generated password that only the user and the person deploying the script can see that is encrypted with the specified KMS key.

rm -rf ai-cfn
git clone https://github.com/2ndSightLab/ai-cfn.git
cd ai-cfn/iam-user
chmod 700 run.sh
