AWS SDK for Go V2 code examples for AWS STS.
Purpose
These examples demonstrates how to perform several AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) operations using version 2 of the AWS SDK for Go.
Prerequisites
You must have an AWS account, and have your default credentials and AWS Region configured as described in Configuring the AWS SDK for Go in the AWS SDK for Go Developer Guide.
Running the code
AssumeRole/AssumeRolev2.go
This example gets temporary security credentials to access resources.
go run AssumeRolev2.go -r ROLE-ARN -s SESSION-NAME
- ROLE-ARN is the ARN of the role to assume.
- SESSION-NAME is the name of the assumed role session.
The unit test accepts similar values in config.json.
Notes
- We recommend that you grant this code least privilege, or at most the minimum permissions required to perform the task. For more information, see Grant Least Privilege in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide.
- This code has not been tested in all AWS Regions. Some AWS services are available only in specific Regions.
- Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account.
Running the unit tests
Unit tests should delete any resources they create. However, they might result in charges to your AWS account.
To run a unit test, enter:
go test
You should see something like the following, where PATH is the path to the folder containing the Go files:
PASS
ok PATH 6.593s
If you want to see any log messages, enter:
go test -v
You should see some additional log messages. The last two lines should be similar to the previous output shown.
