I want to create fully automated creating of new roles in AWS and connecting this with Snowflake. To connect Snowflake with AWS we must edit trust relationships and paste their STORAGE_AWS_EXTERNAL_ID.
Is there any way to do this fully automated?
How about creating a batch script using AWS CLI et SNOW SQL following the steps provided in the Snowflake user guide.
Create your AWS IAM policy and get your policy's arn
Create an AWS IAM role linked to this policy and get the role's arn
Create the snowflake storage integration linked to this role and get STORAGE_AWS_IAM_USER_ARN and STORAGE_AWS_EXTERNAL_ID from DESC INTEGRATION command.
Update the AWS IAM policy with previous values (i.e snowflake's user arn and external id).

I'm trying to create a botocore session (that does not use my local AWS credentials on ~/.aws/credentials). In other words, I want to create a "burner AWS account". With that burner credentials/session, I want to setup an STS client and with that client, assume a role in order to access a DynamoDB database. Can someone provide some example code which accomplishes exactly this?
Because if I want my system to go into production environment, I CANNOT store the AWS credentials on Github because AWS will scan for it. I'm trying to implement a workaround such that we don't have to store ~/.aws/credentials file on Github.
The running a task in Amazon ECS, simply assign an IAM Role to the task.
Amazon ECS will then generate temporary credentials for that IAM Role. Any code that uses an AWS SDK (such as boto3 for Python) knows how to access those credentials via the metadata service.
The result is that your code using boto3 will automatically receive credentials that have the permissions associated with the IAM Role assigned to the task.

I am trying to sync two S3 buckets in different accounts. I have successfully configured the locations and created a task. However, when I run the task I get a Unable to connect to S3 endpoint error. Can anyone help?
This could have been related to the datasync's IAM role's policy (datasync IAM role) not having permission to the target S3 bucket
verify your policy and trust relationship using the below documentation
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/using-identity-based-policies.html
Also turn on cloudwatch logs (like shown in the image) and view detailed log in cloudwatch. If it is permission related, add the missing policy in the Datasync role.
I'm trying to get manual snapshots setup for my AWS Elasticsearch cluster. I'm not sure how to setup the correct IAM permissions on the S3 bucket though because there is already a service-role created and I'm unable to add additional policies.
What am I supposed to do here?
Thanks!
I was able to resolve this by creating a second IAM role using the CLI (it doesn't seem to be an option through the GUI)
I want to create a S3 Bucket via CloudFormation template. I found there is a way to do it for EC2 instance on this link.
Do we have a way to create S3 bucket using existing IAM role via cloudformation?
It looks like what you're looking for is a service role. From AWS:
A service role is an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows AWS CloudFormation to make calls to resources in a stack on your behalf. You can specify an IAM role that allows AWS CloudFormation to create, update, or delete your stack resources. By default, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that it generates from your user credentials for stack operations. If you specify a service role, AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials.
For more information, you might want to take a look at this, specifically the permission part to find out how to use an existing IAM role for creating a Cloudformation stack.
By the way: Unfortunately the link that you've provided doesn't seem to be accessible anymore.
When deploying infrastructure using creating Cloudformation template, you can have 2 ways to do it:
Cloudformation can deploy resources using the permissions of the current user who deploys the CF template. This is the default way
Secondly (Optional), you can choose an existing role that can be attached to the CF template. Cloudformation service will use the permissions of that attached role to deploy all the required services. Given that the attached role has permissions to S3, you can create an S3 bucket as can be seen in the attached screenshot
I'm new to programming. I need to figure out how I can create AWS users, roles and policies programmatically using code.
That task I'm after :
Create a User, Role and Policy
Assign Policy to the Role
Assign Role to the User
Set condition on the Role, that only Users with MFA can assume that Role
Config's should live in S3 bucket
configure a LAMBDA to check the user's role membership and output the result to S3 bucket.
Just trying to figure out where do I start from ? I have a very limited programming experience (can do a bit of PHP).
I have a AWS account, created a user and gave him 'AdministratorAccess' also have user keys for CLI access.
Should I be suing 1)AWS CLI 2) Powershell 3) AWS SDK's 4) AWS API?
Appreciate any help/direction to achieve the above.
Thanks

To programmatically create IAM Roles you can use AWS PHP SDK. Refer the IAM Create User section in SDK API reference for more details.
Aside from using specific language AWS SDKs such as suggested by #Ashan, you can do so by using AWS REST API with the following example request:
https://iam.amazonaws.com/?Action=CreateUser
&Path=/division_abc/subdivision_xyz/
&UserName=Bob
&Version=2010-05-08
&AUTHPARAMS
Source - CreateUser
