Installation​

To pull the latest version of the aws provider, run the following command: 

REGISTRY PULL aws;

To view previous provider versions or to pull a specific provider version, see here.

Authentication​

The following system environment variables are used for authentication by default:

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

These variables are sourced at runtime (from the local machine or as CI variables/secrets).

Using different environment variables

To use different environment variables (instead of the defaults), use the --auth flag of the stackql program. For example: 

AUTH='{ "aws": { "type": "aws_signing_v4", "keyIDenvvar": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID_VAR", "credentialsenvvar": "YOUR_SECRET_KEY_VAR" }}'
stackql shell --auth="${AUTH}"

or using PowerShell: 

$Auth = "{ 'aws': { 'type': 'aws_signing_v4',  'keyIDenvvar': 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID_VAR', 'credentialsenvvar': 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY_VAR' }}"
stackql.exe shell --auth=$Auth
