Configure AWS Credentials for GitHub Actions
Configure your AWS credentials and region environment variables for use in other GitHub Actions. This action implements the AWS SDK credential resolution chain and exports environment variables for your other Actions to use. Environment variable exports are detected by both the AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI for AWS API calls.
Recent updates
We've recently released a v2 of this action that uses the Node 16 runtime by default. You should update your action references to v2. We intend v2 to be the new default for this action and will no longer be providing updates to the v1 tag.
When migrating to v2, you don't have to consider any changes other than the node version. There are no breaking changes between versions; As of release of v2, the node version is the only change.
As is usual for GitHub Actions, we provide release tags for you to reference in your repository's workflow files. The v2 tag is a moving tag that will always apply to the lastest version 2 train release. We will also provide minor version tags on every release, and create a v3 tag when we are ready for a new major release. If you had been following the development of this action so far, this is a change to previous states release policy.

Usage
We support four methods for fetching credentials from AWS, but we recommend that you use GitHub's OIDC provider in conjunction with a configured AWS IAM Identity Provider endpoint.
To do that, you would add the following step to your workflow:
This will cause the action to perform an AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity call and return temporary security credentials for use by other actions. In order for this to work, you'll need to preconfigure the IAM IdP in your AWS account (see Assuming a Role for details).
You can use this action with the AWS CLI available in GitHub's hosted virtual environments or run this action multiple times to use different AWS accounts, regions, or IAM roles in the same GitHub Actions workflow. As an example, here is a complete workflow file that uploads artifacts to Amazon S3.
jobs: deploy: name: Upload to Amazon S3 runs-on: ubuntu-latest # These permissions are needed to interact with GitHub's OIDC Token endpoint. permissions: id-token: write contents: read steps: - name: Checkout uses: actions/checkout@v3 - name: Configure AWS credentials from Test account uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v2 with: role-to-assume: arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/my-github-actions-role-test aws-region: us-east-1 - name: Copy files to the test website with the AWS CLI run: | aws s3 sync . s3://my-s3-test-website-bucket - name: Configure AWS credentials from Production account uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v2 with: role-to-assume: arn:aws:iam::222222222222:role/my-github-actions-role-prod aws-region: us-west-2 - name: Copy files to the production website with the AWS CLI run: | aws s3 sync . s3://my-s3-prod-website-bucket
See action.yml for the full documentation for this action's inputs and outputs.
Credentials
We recommend following Amazon IAM best practices for the AWS credentials used in GitHub Actions workflows, including:
Do not store credentials in your repository's code.
Grant least privilege to the credentials used in GitHub Actions workflows. Grant only the permissions required to perform the actions in your GitHub Actions workflows.
Monitor the activity of the credentials used in GitHub Actions workflows.
Assuming a Role
There are four different supported ways to retrieve credentials. We recommend using GitHub's OIDC provider to get short-lived credentials needed for your actions. Specifying role-to-assume without providing an aws-access-key-id or a web-identity-token-file, or setting role-chaining, will signal to the action that you wish to use the OIDC provider. If role-chaining is true, existing credentials in the environment will be used to assume role-to-assume.
The following table describes which identity is used based on which values are supplied to the Action:
Identity Usedaws-access-key-idrole-to-assumeweb-identity-token-filerole-chaining[✅ Recommended] Assume Role directly using GitHub OIDC provider✔IAM User✔Assume Role using IAM User credentials✔✔Assume Role using WebIdentity Token File credentials✔✔Assume Role using existing credentials✔✔
Credential Lifetime
The default session duration is 1 hour when using the OIDC provider to directly assume an IAM Role or when an aws-session-token is directly provided. The default session duration is 6 hours when using an IAM User to assume an IAM Role (by providing an aws-access-key-id, aws-secret-access-key, and a role-to-assume) .
If you would like to adjust this you can pass a duration to role-duration-seconds, but the duration cannot exceed the maximum that was defined when the IAM Role was created. The default session name is GitHubActions, and you can modify it by specifying the desired name in role-session-name. The default audience is sts.amazonaws.com which you can replace by specifying the desired audience name in audience.
Examples
AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity (recommended)
In this example, the Action will load the OIDC token from the GitHub-provided environment variable and use it to assume the role arn:aws:iam::123456789100:role/my-github-actions-role with the session name MySessionName.
AssumeRole with static IAM credentials in repository secrets
In this two-step example, the first step will use OIDC to assume the role arn:aws:iam::123456789100:role/my-github-actions-role just as in the prior example. Following that, a second step will use this role to assume a different role, arn:aws:iam::987654321000:role/my-second-role.
In this example, the secret AWS_ROLE_TO_ASSUME contains a string like arn:aws:iam::123456789100:role/my-github-actions-role. To assume a role in the same account as the static credentials, you can simply specify the role name, like role-to-assume: my-github-actions-role.
AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity using a custom audience
In this example, the audience has been changed from the default to use a different audience name beta-customers. This can help ensure that the role can only affect those AWS accounts whose GitHub OIDC providers have explicitly opted in to the beta-customers label.
Changing the default audience may be necessary when using non-default AWS partitions.
AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity and disable secure Action outputs
In this example, account ID masking has been disabled. By default, the AWS account ID will be obscured in the action's output. This may be helpful when debugging action failures.
Sample IAM OIDC CloudFormation Template
If you choose to use GitHub's OIDC provider, you must first set up federation with the provider in as an IAM IdP. The GitHub OIDC provider only needs to be created once per account (i.e. multiple IAM Roles that can be assumed by the GitHub's OIDC can share a single OIDC Provider).
This CloudFormation template will configure the IdP for you.
Parameters: GitHubOrg: Description: Name of GitHub organization/user (case sensitive) Type: String RepositoryName: Description: Name of GitHub repository (case sensitive) Type: String OIDCProviderArn: Description: Arn for the GitHub OIDC Provider. Default: "" Type: String OIDCAudience: Description: Audience supplied to configure-aws-credentials. Default: "sts.amazonaws.com" Type: String Conditions: CreateOIDCProvider: !Equals - !Ref OIDCProviderArn - "" Resources: Role: Type: AWS::IAM::Role Properties: AssumeRolePolicyDocument: Statement: - Effect: Allow Action: sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity Principal: Federated: !If - CreateOIDCProvider - !Ref GithubOidc - !Ref OIDCProviderArn Condition: StringEquals: token.actions.githubusercontent.com:aud: !Ref OIDCAudience StringLike: token.actions.githubusercontent.com:sub: !Sub repo:${GitHubOrg}/${RepositoryName}:* GithubOidc: Type: AWS::IAM::OIDCProvider Condition: CreateOIDCProvider Properties: Url: https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com ClientIdList: - sts.amazonaws.com ThumbprintList: - 6938fd4d98bab03faadb97b34396831e3780aea1 Outputs: Role: Value: !GetAtt Role.Arn
To align with the Amazon IAM best practice of granting least privilege, the assume role policy document should contain a Condition that specifies a subject allowed to assume the role. Without a subject condition, any GitHub user or repository could potentially assume the role. The subject can be scoped to a GitHub organization and repository as shown in the CloudFormation template. Additional claim conditions can be added for higher specificity as explained in the GitHub documentation. Due to implementation details, not every OIDC claim is presently supported by IAM.
For further information on OIDC and GitHub Actions, please see:
AWS docs: Creating OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity providers
AWS docs: IAM JSON policy elements: Condition
GitHub docs: About security hardening with OpenID Connect
GitHub docs: Configuring OpenID Connect in Amazon Web Services

Session tagging
The session will have the name "GitHubActions" and be tagged with the following tags: (GITHUB_ environment variable definitions can be found here)
KeyValueGitHub"Actions"RepositoryGITHUB_REPOSITORYWorkflowGITHUB_WORKFLOWActionGITHUB_ACTIONActorGITHUB_ACTORBranchGITHUB_REFCommitGITHUB_SHA
Note: all tag values must conform to the requirements. Particularly, GITHUB_WORKFLOW will be truncated if it's too long. If GITHUB_ACTOR or GITHUB_WORKFLOW contain invalid characters, the characters will be replaced with an '*'.
The action will use session tagging by default during role assumption. Note that for WebIdentity role assumption, the session tags have to be included in the encoded WebIdentity token. This means that Tags can only be supplied by the OIDC provider and not set during the AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity API call within the Action. You can skip this session tagging by providing role-skip-session-tagging as true in the action's inputs:
uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v2 with: role-skip-session-tagging: true
Self-Hosted Runners
If you run your GitHub Actions in a self-hosted runner that already has access to AWS credentials, such as an EC2 instance, then you do not need to provide IAM user access key credentials to this action. We will use the standard AWS JavaScript SDK credential resolution methods to find your credentials, so if the AWS JS SDK can authenticate on your runner, this Action will as well.
If no access key credentials are given in the action inputs, this action will use credentials from the runner environment using the default methods for the AWS SDK for Javascript.
You can use this action to simply configure the region and account ID in the environment, and then use the runner's credentials for all AWS API calls made by your Actions workflow:
uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v2 with: aws-region: us-east-2
In this case, your runner's credentials must have permissions to call any AWS APIs called by your Actions workflow.
Or, you can use this action to assume a role, and then use the role credentials for all AWS API calls made by your Actions workflow:
uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v2 with: aws-region: us-east-2 role-to-assume: my-github-actions-role
In this case, your runner's credentials must have permissions to assume the role.
You can also assume a role using a web identity token file, such as if using Amazon EKS IRSA. Pods running in EKS worker nodes that do not run as root can use this file to assume a role with a web identity.
Proxy Configuration
If you run in self-hosted environments and in secured environment where you need use a specific proxy you can set it in the action manually.
Additionally this action will always consider already configured proxy in the environment.
Manually configured proxy:
uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v2 with: aws-region: us-east-2 role-to-assume: my-github-actions-role http-proxy: "http://companydomain.com:3128"
Proxy configured in the environment variable:
The action will read the underlying proxy configuration from the environment and you don't need to configure it in the action.
Use with the AWS CLI
This workflow does not install the AWS CLI into your environment. Self-hosted runners that intend to run this action prior to executing aws commands need to have the AWS CLI installed if it's not already present. Most GitHub hosted runner environments should include the AWS CLI by default.
