Hologram brings AWS IAM Roles to developer laptops by exposing an EC2-like metadata service for temporary credentials.
What is hologram?
Hologram is a tool that enables developers to use temporary AWS credentials on their local machines by emulating the EC2 instance metadata service. It eliminates the need to store AWS keys in source code or environment variables, improving security while maintaining convenience. The system allows development and production environments to use the same credential source, simplifying deployment and reducing the risk of credential leaks.
Developers and DevOps engineers working with AWS who need secure, temporary credentials for local development on non-EC2 machines, particularly in organizations using LDAP for authentication and requiring multi-account or role-based access.
Developers choose Hologram because it provides a seamless bridge between local development and AWS cloud security models, using the same credential workflow as EC2 instances without modifying application code. Its unique selling points include LDAP integration for SSH key authentication, support for role switching and multi-account aliases, and the ability to operate in a serverless mode using the AWS SDK default provider.
