Non-Interactive Mode

Non-interactive mode is designed for CI/CD pipelines and scripted execution where no terminal prompts are allowed.

Use:

python3 main.py <provider> --non-interactive

Supported providers:

• AWS: python3 main.py aws --non-interactive
• Azure: python3 main.py azure --non-interactive

How it works

When --non-interactive is enabled, cloudexit reads required inputs from environment variables. If a required value is missing, the run fails fast with a typed non-zero exit code instead of waiting for user input.

This makes runs deterministic and safe for:

• GitHub Actions
• Scheduled jobs
• Scripted batch assessments

Authentication options

Both providers support two authentication patterns in non-interactive mode:

• Static credentials (long-lived secrets)
• OIDC/federated credentials (short-lived tokens)

OIDC is recommended for production CI where possible.
