IAM Role Authentication for AWS S3 Volume Connections
General:
This release introduces IAM role authentication as a supported method for connecting AWS S3 buckets as volumes, alongside the existing IAM user method.
New Features:
A new feature that enables:
- Authentication of AWS S3 volume connections using an IAM role in place of an IAM user access key
- Temporary, automatically-renewed session credentials with no long-term keys to manage
- Custom IAM policy support scoped to a bucket, or a sub-path within it, for read-only or read-write access
- Optional External ID configuration for additional trust-policy protection against unauthorized role assumption
- Volume creation and management via both the visual interface and dedicated API endpoints (create, get details, update)
