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)
    • (lightbulb) this can optionally include access to your elastic agents for administrators (or any other group with access to the resp. AWS Connector)

Please note that the Bamboo Encryption API naming is misleading for the time being - as properly phrased in the method details, these just provide means to obfuscate sensitive data. Real encryption is available by using the integration with Identity Federation for AWS (Bamboo) instead.
