AWS AssumeRole Buildkite Plugin

A Buildkite plugin to assume an IAM Role before running the build command.

Credentials for the assumed role are placed in the environment as AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, where they will be found by standard AWS tools and SDKs.

The assumed role session expires after one hour, which is the default and maximum duration for the AssumeRole API.

Example

steps:
  - command: bin/ci-aws-thing
    plugins:
      cultureamp/aws-assume-role:
        role: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/example-role

Options

role

The ARN of the IAM Role to assume. The build agent must already be authenticated (e.g. EC2 instance role) and have sts:AssumeRole permission for the role being assumed.
