AWS credential provider that sources credentials from the EC2 instance metadata service and ECS container metadata service

Package Exports

  • @aws-sdk/credential-provider-imds

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@aws-sdk/credential-provider-imds) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

AWS Credential Provider for Node.JS - Instance and Container Metadata

This module provides two CredentialProvider factory functions, fromContainerMetadata and fromInstanceMetadata, that will create CredentialProvider functions that read from the ECS container metadata service and the EC2 instance metadata service, respectively.

A CredentialProvider function created with fromContainerMetadata will return a promise that will resolve with credentials for the IAM role associated with containers in an Amazon ECS task. Please see IAM Roles for Tasks for more information on using IAM roles with Amazon ECS.

A CredentialProvider function created with fromInstanceMetadata will return a promise that will resolve with credentials for the IAM role associated with an EC2 instance. Please see IAM Roles for Amazon EC2 for more information on using IAM roles with Amazon EC2. Both IMDSv1 (a request/response method) and IMDSv2 (a session-oriented method) are supported. Please see Configure the instance metadata service for more information.

Supported configuration

You may customize how credentials are resolved by providing an options hash to the fromContainerMetadata and fromInstanceMetadata factory functions. The following options are supported:

  • timeout - The connection timeout (in milliseconds) to apply to any remote requests. If not specified, a default value of 1000 (one second) is used.
  • maxRetries - The maximum number of times any HTTP connections should be retried. If not specified, a default value of 0 will be used.
