Shared AWS security credentials management

You can now manage AWS security credentials centrally by means of an integration with the Identity Federation for AWS (Bamboo) add-on:

add long-term AWS security credentials (IAM users) once, configure AWS access for Atlassian groups with temporary credentials and fine grained permissions via IAM Policies thereafter (Identity Broker)
grant easy access to AWS resources directly via menu links to the AWS Management Console (see the User's Guide for details)
- this can optionally include access to your elastic agents for administrators (or any other group with access to the resp. AWS Connector)

Improved security of Inline credentials persistence

AWS security credentials of type Inline are now persisted through the Bamboo EncryptionService API on Save for new or existing tasks.

Note

title	No Automatic Migration

Existing task configurations are not upgraded automatically, you need to explicitly edit and save them once. Given most users want to upgrade to shared AWS credentials managed via Identity Federation for AWS instead, we felt this to be an acceptable compromise - please get in touch if your situation requires a different approach, we are willing to discuss this on a case by case base.
