Multi-Cloud Configuration

[tools]
aws = "latest"
az = "latest"
gcloud = "latest"
terraform = "latest"

[scripts]
aws-login = "aws sso login"
az-login = "az login"
gcloud-login = "gcloud auth login"

Best Practices

1. Credential Management: Use environment variables or cloud-specific credential files
2. Profile Switching: Configure multiple profiles for different accounts/environments
3. Version Pinning: Pin CLI versions in production for consistency

[tools]
# Pin specific versions for production
aws = "2.15"
az = "2.55"
gcloud = "460"
