automated api keys

[AndyMoore]

Hi Team,

I'd really like to get a one-stop configuration of Grafana with the ability to setup dashboards, datasources as part of the provisioning. Looking at https://aws-observability.github.io/aws-o11y-recipes/recipes/amg-automation-tf/ I can see there's an intermediate step of adding an API key before I can set things up. This key would have a maximum life of 30 days, so any changes (manual or via a pipeline) would need intervention. The key would also need to be stored somewhere for its lifespan..

It'd be great if a key could be created/returned via the aws api which would enable further provisioning. The key would preferably be long lived, but in theory if it was stored and rotated, it would be fine as long as any tools retrieve the latest key before running..

Thanks in advance

Andy
