ec2-iam-security-credentials

A little NPM module for fetching AWS security credentials on EC2 nodes with IAM roles assigned.

Usage

var AWS = require("aws-sdk")
    , log4js = require("log4js")
    , Credentials = require("ec2-iam-security-credentials");

var logger = log4js.getLogger("your-logger-name");
var credentials = new Credentials(AWS, logger);
var s3;

credentials.on("iamReloaded", function() {
    AWS.config.update({
        endpoint: (config ? config.AWS.endpoint : "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com")
        , region: (config ? config.AWS.region : "eu-west-1")
        , accessKeyId: credentials.accessKeyId
        , secretAccessKey: credentials.secretAccessKey
        , sessionToken: credentials.sessionToken
    });
    s3 = new AWS.S3();
});
credentials.fetch(function() {
    logger.info("IAM credentials loaded.");
    logger.info([ credentials.role, credentials.accessKeyId, credentials.secretAccessKey, credentials.sessionToken ]);
    credentials.emit("iamReloaded");
    
    startYourAppHere();
});

	To use:
	
	var logger = log4js.getLogger("your-logger-name");
	var credentials = new Credentials(AWS, logger);
	credentials.on("iamReloaded", function() {
		AWS.config.update({
			endpoint: (config ? config.AWS.endpoint : "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com")
			, region: (config ? config.AWS.region : "eu-west-1")
			, accessKeyId: credentials.accessKeyId
			, secretAccessKey: credentials.secretAccessKey
			, sessionToken: credentials.sessionToken
		});
		s3 = new AWS.S3();
	});
	credentials.fetch(function() {
		logger.info("IAM credentials loaded.");
		logger.info([ credentials.role, credentials.accessKeyId, credentials.secretAccessKey, credentials.sessionToken ]);
		credentials.emit("iamReloaded");
		
		startYourAppHere();
	});
