Add support for authentication through IAM roles

Open lnovara opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

We are experimenting with AWS account federation using IAM roles and we stumbled upon a furyctl limitation in that area: as of now, it is not possible to authenticate to a given AWS account using an IAM role while Terraform supports this use case just fine.

Would it be possible to include support for such feature?

As of now, we are working around this issue manually calling the assumRole API from AWS CLI and then exporting the resulting credentials as environment variables.
