AWS Security Token Service (STS)

  • Security Token Service (STS) enables you to create temporary, limited-privileges credentials to access your AWS resources
  • Short-term credentials (you configure expiration period)
  • Use cases:
    • Identity Federation: manage user identities in external systems, and provide them with STS token to access AWS resources
    • IAM Roles for cross/same account access
    • IAM Roles for Amazon EC2: provide temporary credentials for EC2 instances to access AWS resources
