# AWS IAM Roles Anywhere Refresher


## Setup
[AWS IAM Roles Anywhere](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rolesanywhere/latest/userguide/introduction.html)

If you are running workloads outside of AWS it's recommended that you only use short lived IAM credentials.
Because those credentials expire they need to be refreshed on a schedule.

This image runs in a kubernetes cronjob and will create and save new IAM credentials in a secret.

*This container is not designed to run outside of kubernetes!*

## Docker hub and repo

- [container image](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/siteworxpro/aws-iam-anywhere/general)

## Environment Variables

- `SECRET`: the name of the secret containing the aws credentials (default=aws-credentials)
- `RESTART_DEPLOYMENTS` : restart deployments on success (default=false)
- `SESSION_DURATION` : how long credentials requested will be valid (default=900)
- `NAMESPACE` ***required*** : the namespace your cron pod is in
- `ROLE_ARN` ***required*** : the role arn to assume
- `PROFILE_ARN` ***required*** : the aim anywhere profile arn
- `TRUSTED_ANCHOR_ARN` ***required*** : the trusted anchor arn
- `PRIVATE_KEY` ***required*** : iam private key base64 encoded

```

## Restarting Deployments

You can optionally restart your deployments if needed. Set the `RESTART_DEPLOYMENTS` environment variable to `true`. If this isn't needed you can exclude the permission in the role above and the variable.

The process will list all deployments with the label `iam-role-type=aws-iam-anywhere` and restart them.

Be sure, if needed to avoid downtime, to configure your deployments readiness probes.

```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: aws-iam-anywhere
  namespace: aws-iam-anywhere
  labels:
    iam-role-type: aws-iam-anywhere
```
