Use assume role with web identity in order to use iam role for service account in EKS #19

Description

Please specify whether your issue is about:

  • a possible bug
  • a question about package functionality
  • a suggested code or documentation change, improvement to the code, or feature request

We do have jupyterhub running in EKS. Each jupyter pods uses iam role for service account in order to have access to s3, etc. That works fine with python boto3 and awscli.

However, in R, the only thing i see is the role attached to the worker node, which is not the correct role.

Is there a way to use the same authentication mechanism than awscli or boto3 ? If not, is there a way to use assume role with webidentity ?

Put your code here:

## load package
library("aws.s3")
library("aws.signature")
library("aws.iam")

## code goes here

> get_caller_identity()
