salt.states.boto_iam_role¶

Manage IAM roles

New in version 2014.7.0.

This module uses boto, which can be installed via package, or pip.

This module accepts explicit IAM credentials but can also utilize IAM roles assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic credentials are then automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More information available here.

If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a pillar file or in the minion's config file:

iam.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
iam.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via a profile, either passed in as a dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

myprofile:
    keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
    key: askjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
    region: us-east-1

Creating a role will automatically create an instance profile and associate it with the role. This is the default behavior of the AWS console.

myrole:
    boto_iam_role.present:
        - region: us-east-1
        - key: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
        - keyid: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
        - policies_from_pillars:
            - shared_iam_bootstrap_policy
        - policies:
            MySQSPolicy:
                Statement:
                  - Action:
                        - sqs:*
                    Effect: Allow
                    Resource:
                        - arn:aws:sqs:*:*:*
                    Sid: MyPolicySQS1
            MyS3Policy:
                Statement:
                  - Action:
                        - s3:GetObject
                    Effect: Allow
                    Resource:
                        - arn:aws:s3:*:*:mybucket/*

# Using a credentials profile from pillars
myrole:

        - profile: myiamprofile

# Passing in a credentials profile
myrole:
    boto_iam_role.present:

        - profile:

salt.states.boto_iam_role.absent(name, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)¶

Ensure the IAM role is deleted.

name: Name of the IAM role.
region: Region to connect to.
key: Secret key to be used.
keyid: Access key to be used.
profile: A dict with region, key and keyid, or a pillar key (string) that contains a dict with region, key and keyid.

salt.states.boto_iam_role.present(name, policy_document=None, path=None, policies=None, policies_from_pillars=None, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)¶

Ensure the IAM role exists.

name: Name of the IAM role.
policy_document: The policy that grants an entity permission to assume the role. (See http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/iam.html#boto.iam.connection.IAMConnection.create_role)
path: The path to the instance profile. (See http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/iam.html#boto.iam.connection.IAMConnection.create_role)
policies: A dict of IAM role policies.
policies_from_pillars: A list of pillars that contain role policy dicts. Policies in the pillars will be merged in the order defined in the list and key conflicts will be handled by later defined keys overriding earlier defined keys. The policies defined here will be merged with the policies defined in the policies argument. If keys conflict, the keys in the policies argument will override the keys defined in policies_from_pillars.
region: Region to connect to.
key: Secret key to be used.
keyid: Access key to be used.
profile: A dict with region, key and keyid, or a pillar key (string) that contains a dict with region, key and keyid.
