DESCRIPTION
Assume an IAM role
DESCRIPTION
The euare-assumerole utility obtains credentials for an IAM role and outputs them in the form of shellcode that sets environment variables that allow euca2ools commands to use them. Use it inside an eval command to make this process seamless:
DESCRIPTION
$ eval `euare-assumerole myrole`
DESCRIPTION
To stop using the role, use euare-releaserole(1). positional arguments: ROLE the role to assume optional arguments: -d SECONDS, --duration SECONDS number of seconds the credentials should be valid for (900-3600) (default: 900) --session-name PATH role session identifier to include in the assumed role user ID (default: automatic) -c generate C-shell commands on stdout (default if SHELL looks like a csh-style shell -s generate Bourne shell commands on stdout (default if SHELL does not look like a csh-style shell --policy-content POLICY_CONTENT an IAM policy further restricting what the credentials will be allowed to do.
