IAM Role Authentication for AWS S3 Volume Connections

General 

This release introduces IAM role authentication as a supported method for connecting AWS S3 buckets as volumes, alongside the existing IAM user method. 

New Features 

A new feature that enables: 

  • Authentication of AWS S3 volume connections using an IAM role in place of an IAM user access key 

  • Temporary, automatically-renewed session credentials with no long-term keys to manage 

  • Custom IAM policy support scoped to a bucket, or a sub-path within it, for read-only or read-write access 

  • Optional External ID configuration for additional trust-policy protection against unauthorized role assumption 

  • Volume creation and management via both the visual interface and dedicated API endpoints (create, get details, update) 

Resources 

For questions or support related to IAM role volume connections, contact your Velsera Seven Bridges representative or email support@velsera.com.
