AWS IAM Roles Anywhere
Extend IAM roles to workloads running outside of AWS
Why AWS IAM Roles Anywhere?
You can use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere to obtain temporary security credentials for your on-premises, hybrid, and multicloud workloads. IAM Roles Anywhere integrates with your existing enterprise PKI so that your non-AWS workloads can use the same IAM policies and IAM roles that you use for workloads running in AWS without having to manage long-term credentials.
Benefits
Protect your access to AWS
You can use industry-standard X.509 certificates with your existing enterprise public key infrastructure (PKI) or AWS Private Certificate Authority.
Utilize AWS services, anywhere
You can use IAM Roles Anywhere to grant secure temporary access to AWS services and resources for your workloads in hybrid, on-premises, and multicloud workloads.
Help improve your security posture
Decrease your reliance on long-term credentials by utilizing automatically-rotating credentials with short lifetimes provided by IAM Roles Anywhere.
Reduce operational costs and complexity
Help eliminate the need for building and operating systems to store, manage, and distribute long-term credentials.
