How to assume role

[GeorgeHosuAdswizz]

Hello, I have previously configured the aws cli in order to assume a role when I run commands on s3. However the cli does ask me to run each command as aws s3 --profile <my_role>.

When i try to use the go sdk however I simply get an access denied error. Is there any way to quickly configure the go aws sdk in order to assume a role before making any further requests to s3 ? It need to me secure (do note that I already have the require credentials inside ~/.aws/config)

@GeorgeHosuAdswizz thanks for contacting us. The simplest way to support what you're looking for it to set the env var AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1, and then run your code using the SDK. This flag also enables support for assuming roles from the shared config file. This configuration will instruct the SDK to use the shared config file (~/.aws/config). By default without that flag set the SDK will not use the shared config.

The Sessions getting started guide has more information on this.

You can also do this in code too like the following:

    sess, err := session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
        // enable shared config support.
        SharedConfigState: SharedConfigEnable,

        // Optionally set the profile to use from the shared config.
        Profile: myProfile, 
    })
