Cloudmapper authentication #741

Closed messi26 closed 4 years ago

messi26 commented 4 years ago

While setting up cloudmapper, can the initial authentication be done without providing access keys and just on the basis of IAM roles?

Yes, CloudMapper uses the AWS SDK, so you never provide CloudMapper with access keys. It uses the methods provided by the SDK, which include accessing ~/.aws/config, your environment variables (which get set by aws-vault), the EC2 metadata service, ECS, etc.
