Manage AWS credentials - Amazon Data Firehose

Manage your AWS credentials using one of the following methods:

  • Create a custom credentials provider. For details, see Create custom credential providers.

  • Specify an IAM role when you launch your EC2 instance.

  • Specify AWS credentials when you configure the agent (see the entries for awsAccessKeyId and awsSecretAccessKey in the configuration table under Specify agent configuration settings).

  • Edit /etc/sysconfig/aws-kinesis-agent to specify your AWS Region and AWS access keys.

  • If your EC2 instance is in a different AWS account, create an IAM role to provide access to the Amazon Data Firehose service. Specify that role when you configure the agent (see assumeRoleARN and assumeRoleExternalId). Use one of the previous methods to specify the AWS credentials of a user in the other account who has permission to assume this role.
