Approaches differ per auth providers:
|
||||
|
||||
* EC2 instance w/ IAM Instance Profile - [Metadata API](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html)
|
||||
is always used
|
||||
is always used. Introduced in Terraform `0.6.16`.
|
||||
* All other providers (ENV vars, shared creds file, ...)
|
||||
will try two approaches in the following order
|
||||
* `iam:GetUser` - typically useful for IAM Users. It also means
|
||||
that each user needs to be privileged to call `iam:GetUser` for themselves.
|
||||
* `sts:GetCallerIdentity` - _Should_ work for both IAM Users and federated IAM Roles,
|
||||
introduced in Terraform `0.6.16`.
|
||||
* `iam:ListRoles` - this is specifically useful for IdP-federated profiles
|
||||
which cannot use `iam:GetUser`. It also means that each federated user
|
||||
need to be _assuming_ an IAM role which allows `iam:ListRoles`.
|
||||
There is currently no better clean way to get account ID
|
||||
out of the API when using federated account unfortunately.
|
||||
Used in Terraform `0.6.16+`.
|
||||
There used to be no better way to get account ID out of the API
|
||||
when using federated account until `sts:GetCallerIdentity` was introduced.
