Identity Federation for AWS 2.5 Release Notes

 

28 July 2016

The Utoolity team is pleased to present Identity Federation for AWS 2.5 – this release adds an option to the AWS Credentials Variables task in Bamboo for returning AWS IAM caller identity details so that these can be made available to other tools by injecting them via variables into AWS unaware tasks like the Bamboo Script task, and adds a REST API for AWS IAM caller identity details.

If you are using Bamboo remote agents, please review the Identity Federation for AWS 2.5 Upgrade Notes for important information about this release.


Highlights

AWS Credentials Variables task for Bamboo gains option to return IAM caller identity

Use the AWS Credentials Variables task in Bamboo to return details about the IAM identity whose credentials are used to call the API (notable the AWS account ID and user ID) and make them available to other tools by injecting them into AWS unaware tasks like the Bamboo Script task.

AWS Credentials Variables task and Tasks for AWS

The AWS Credentials Variables task complements the dedicated AWS build and deployment tasks offered by Tasks for AWS by providing managed temporary AWS security credentials as Bamboo variables for tools that are not directly integrated with Identity Federation for AWS, but accept AWS credentials via the command line or environment variables, for example the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).



AWS IAM Caller Identity retrieval via REST API

Retrieve details about the IAM identity whose credentials are used to call the API (notable the AWS account ID and user ID) via the REST API so that developers can easily integrate this feature into their own solutions.
