Overview

Package session provides configuration for the SDK's service clients.

Sessions can be shared across all service clients that share the same base configuration. The Session is built from the SDK's default configuration and request handlers.

Sessions should be cached when possible, because creating a new Session will load all configuration values from the environment, and config files each time the Session is created. Sharing the Session value across all of your service clients will ensure the configuration is loaded the fewest number of times possible.

Concurrency

Sessions are safe to use concurrently as long as the Session is not being modified. The SDK will not modify the Session once the Session has been created. Creating service clients concurrently from a shared Session is safe.

Sessions from Shared Config

Sessions can be created using the method above that will only load the additional config if the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set. Alternatively you can explicitly create a Session with shared config enabled. To do this you can use NewSessionWithOptions to configure how the Session will be created. Using the NewSessionWithOptions with SharedConfigState set to SharedConfigEnabled will create the session as if the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable was set.

Creating Sessions

When creating Sessions optional aws.Config values can be passed in that will override the default, or loaded config values the Session is being created with. This allows you to provide additional, or case based, configuration as needed.

By default NewSession will only load credentials from the shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials). If the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set to a truthy value the Session will be created from the configuration values from the shared config (~/.aws/config) and shared credentials (~/.aws/credentials) files. See the section Sessions from Shared Config for more information.

Create a Session with the default config and request handlers. With credentials region, and profile loaded from the environment and shared config automatically. Requires the AWS_PROFILE to be set, or "default" is used. 

// Create Session
sess := session.Must(session.NewSession())

// Create a Session with a custom region
sess := session.Must(session.NewSession(&aws.Config{
	Region: aws.String("us-east-1"),
}))

// Create a S3 client instance from a session
sess := session.Must(session.NewSession())

svc := s3.New(sess)

Create Session With Option Overrides

In addition to NewSession, Sessions can be created using NewSessionWithOptions. This func allows you to control and override how the Session will be created through code instead of being driven by environment variables only.

Use NewSessionWithOptions when you want to provide the config profile, or override the shared config state (AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG). 

// Equivalent to session.NewSession()
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
	// Options
}))

// Specify profile to load for the session's config
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
	 Profile: "profile_name",
}))

// Specify profile for config and region for requests
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
	 Config: aws.Config{Region: aws.String("us-east-1")},
	 Profile: "profile_name",
}))

// Force enable Shared Config support
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
	SharedConfigState: SharedConfigEnable,
}))

Adding Handlers

You can add handlers to a session for processing HTTP requests. All service clients that use the session inherit the handlers. For example, the following handler logs every request and its payload made by a service client: 

// Create a session, and add additional handlers for all service
// clients created with the Session to inherit. Adds logging handler.
sess := session.Must(session.NewSession())

sess.Handlers.Send.PushFront(func(r *request.Request) {
	// Log every request made and its payload
	logger.Println("Request: %s/%s, Payload: %s",
		r.ClientInfo.ServiceName, r.Operation, r.Params)
})

Deprecated "New" function

The New session function has been deprecated because it does not provide good way to return errors that occur when loading the configuration files and values. Because of this, NewSession was created so errors can be retrieved when creating a session fails.

Shared Config Fields

By default the SDK will only load the shared credentials file's (~/.aws/credentials) credentials values, and all other config is provided by the environment variables, SDK defaults, and user provided aws.Config values.

If the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set, or SharedConfigEnable option is used to create the Session the full shared config values will be loaded. This includes credentials, region, and support for assume role. In addition the Session will load its configuration from both the shared config file (~/.aws/config) and shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials). Both files have the same format.

If both config files are present the configuration from both files will be read. The Session will be created from configuration values from the shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials) over those in the shared credentials file (~/.aws/config).

Credentials are the values the SDK should use for authenticating requests with AWS Services. They arfrom a configuration file will need to include both aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key must be provided together in the same file to be considered valid. The values will be ignored if not a complete group. aws_session_token is an optional field that can be provided if both of the other two fields are also provided. 

aws_access_key_id = AKID
aws_secret_access_key = SECRET
aws_session_token = TOKEN

Assume Role values allow you to configure the SDK to assume an IAM role using a set of credentials provided in a config file via the source_profile field. Both "role_arn" and "source_profile" are required. The SDK supports assuming a role with MFA token if the session option AssumeRoleTokenProvider is set. 

role_arn = arn:aws:iam::<account_number>:role/<role_name>
source_profile = profile_with_creds
external_id = 1234
mfa_serial = <serial or mfa arn>
role_session_name = session_name

Region is the region the SDK should use for looking up AWS service endpoints and signing requests. 

region = us-east-1

Assume Role with MFA token

To create a session with support for assuming an IAM role with MFA set the session option AssumeRoleTokenProvider to a function that will prompt for the MFA token code when the SDK assumes the role and refreshes the role's credentials. This allows you to configure the SDK via the shared config to assumea role with MFA tokens.

In order for the SDK to assume a role with MFA the SharedConfigState session option must be set to SharedConfigEnable, or AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable set.

The shared configuration instructs the SDK to assume an IAM role with MFA when the mfa_serial configuration field is set in the shared config (~/.aws/config) or shared credentials (~/.aws/credentials) file.

If mfa_serial is set in the configuration, the SDK will assume the role, and the AssumeRoleTokenProvider session option is not set an an error will be returned when creating the session. 

sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
    AssumeRoleTokenProvider: stscreds.StdinTokenProvider,
}))

// Create service client value configured for credentials
// from assumed role.
svc := s3.New(sess)

To setup assume role outside of a session see the stscrds.AssumeRoleProvider documentation.

Environment Variables

When a Session is created several environment variables can be set to adjust how the SDK functions, and what configuration data it loads when creating Sessions. All environment values are optional, but some values like credentials require multiple of the values to set or the partial values will be ignored. All environment variable values are strings unless otherwise noted.

Environment configuration values. If set both Access Key ID and Secret Access Key must be provided. Session Token and optionally also be provided, but is not required. 

# Access Key ID
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKID
AWS_ACCESS_KEY=AKID # only read if AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID is not set.

# Secret Access Key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=SECRET
AWS_SECRET_KEY=SECRET=SECRET # only read if AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY is not set.

# Session Token
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=TOKEN

Region value will instruct the SDK where to make service API requests to. If is not provided in the environment the region must be provided before a service client request is made. 

AWS_REGION=us-east-1

# AWS_DEFAULT_REGION is only read if AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG is also set,
# and AWS_REGION is not also set.
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1

Profile name the SDK should load use when loading shared config from the configuration files. If not provided "default" will be used as the profile name. 

AWS_PROFILE=my_profile

# AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE is only read if AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG is also set,
# and AWS_PROFILE is not also set.
AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=my_profile

SDK load config instructs the SDK to load the shared config in addition to shared credentials. This also expands the configuration loaded so the shared credentials will have parity with the shared config file. This also enables Region and Profile support for the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION and AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE env values as well. 

AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1

Shared credentials file path can be set to instruct the SDK to use an alternative file for the shared credentials. If not set the file will be loaded from $HOME/.aws/credentials on Linux/Unix based systems, and %USERPROFILE%\.aws\credentials on Windows. 

AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE=$HOME/my_shared_credentials

Shared config file path can be set to instruct the SDK to use an alternative file for the shared config. If not set the file will be loaded from $HOME/.aws/config on Linux/Unix based systems, and %USERPROFILE%\.aws\config on Windows. 

AWS_CONFIG_FILE=$HOME/my_shared_config

Path to a custom Credentials Authority (CA) bundle PEM file that the SDK will use instead of the default system's root CA bundle. Use this only if you want to replace the CA bundle the SDK uses for TLS requests. 

AWS_CA_BUNDLE=$HOME/my_custom_ca_bundle

Enabling this option will attempt to merge the Transport into the SDK's HTTP client. If the client's Transport is not a http.Transport an error will be returned. If the Transport's TLS config is set this option will cause the SDK to overwrite the Transport's TLS config's RootCAs value. If the CA bundle file contains multiple certificates all of them will be loaded.

The Session option CustomCABundle is also available when creating sessions to also enable this feature. CustomCABundle session option field has priority over the AWS_CA_BUNDLE environment variable, and will be used if both are set.

Setting a custom HTTPClient in the aws.Config options will override this setting. To use this option and custom HTTP client, the HTTP client needs to be provided when creating the session. Not the service client.

}

Options provides the means to control how a Session is created and what configuration values will be loaded.

type Session 

type Session struct {
	Config   *aws.Config
	Handlers request.Handlers
}

A Session provides a central location to create service clients from and store configurations and request handlers for those services.

Sessions are safe to create service clients concurrently, but it is not safe to mutate the Session concurrently.

The Session satisfies the service client's client.ClientConfigProvider.

func Must added in v1.3.0 

func Must(sess *Session, err error) *Session

Must is a helper function to ensure the Session is valid and there was no error when calling a NewSession function.

This helper is intended to be used in variable initialization to load the Session and configuration at startup. Such as: 

var sess = session.Must(session.NewSession())

func New deprecated 

func New(cfgs ...*aws.Config) *Session

New creates a new instance of the handlers merging in the provided configs on top of the SDK's default configurations. Once the Session is created it can be mutated to modify the Config or Handlers. The Session is safe to be read concurrently, but it should not be written to concurrently.

If the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment is set to a truthy value, the New method could now encounter an error when loading the configuration. When The environment variable is set, and an error occurs, New will return a session that will fail all requests reporting the error that occurred while loading the session. Use NewSession to get the error when creating the session.

If the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set to a truthy value the shared config file (~/.aws/config) will also be loaded, in addition to the shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials). Values set in both the shared config, and shared credentials will be taken from the shared credentials file.

Deprecated: Use NewSession functions to create sessions instead. NewSession has the same functionality as New except an error can be returned when the func is called instead of waiting to receive an error until a request is made.

func NewSession added in v1.3.0 

func NewSession(cfgs ...*aws.Config) (*Session, error)

NewSession returns a new Session created from SDK defaults, config files, environment, and user provided config files. Once the Session is created it can be mutated to modify the Config or Handlers. The Session is safe to be read concurrently, but it should not be written to concurrently.

If the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set to a truthy value the shared config file (~/.aws/config) will also be loaded in addition to the shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials). Values set in both the shared config, and shared credentials will be taken from the shared credentials file. Enabling the Shared Config will also allow the Session to be built with retrieving credentials with AssumeRole set in the config.

See the NewSessionWithOptions func for information on how to override or control through code how the Session will be created. Such as specifying the config profile, and controlling if shared config is enabled or not.

func NewSessionWithOptions added in v1.3.0 

func NewSessionWithOptions(opts Options) (*Session, error)

NewSessionWithOptions returns a new Session created from SDK defaults, config files, environment, and user provided config files. This func uses the Options values to configure how the Session is created.

If the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set to a truthy value the shared config file (~/.aws/config) will also be loaded in addition to the shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials). Values set in both the shared config, and shared credentials will be taken from the shared credentials file. Enabling the Shared Config will also allow the Session to be built with retrieving credentials with AssumeRole set in the config. 

// Equivalent to session.New
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{}))

// Specify profile to load for the session's config
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
     Profile: "profile_name",
}))

// Specify profile for config and region for requests
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
     Config: aws.Config{Region: aws.String("us-east-1")},
     Profile: "profile_name",
}))

// Force enable Shared Config support
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
    SharedConfigState: SharedConfigEnable,
}))

func (*Session) ClientConfig 

func (s *Session) ClientConfig(serviceName string, cfgs ...*aws.Config) client.Config

ClientConfig satisfies the client.ConfigProvider interface and is used to configure the service client instances. Passing the Session to the service client's constructor (New) will use this method to configure the client.

func (*Session) ClientConfigNoResolveEndpoint added in v1.6.20 

func (s *Session) ClientConfigNoResolveEndpoint(cfgs ...*aws.Config) client.Config

ClientConfigNoResolveEndpoint is the same as ClientConfig with the exception that the EndpointResolver will not be used to resolve the endpoint. The only endpoint set must come from the aws.Config.Endpoint field.

func (*Session) Copy 

func (s *Session) Copy(cfgs ...*aws.Config) *Session

Copy creates and returns a copy of the current Session, coping the config and handlers. If any additional configs are provided they will be merged on top of the Session's copied config. 

// Create a copy of the current Session, configured for the us-west-2 region.
sess.Copy(&aws.Config{Region: aws.String("us-west-2")})
