Policies for AWS
StackState Self-hosted v5.0.x
This page describes StackState version 5.0.
Overview
This page includes examples of all IAM and other policies necessary for a working StackState AWS Agent installation. For the AWS (Legacy) integration, refer to the policy files provided when the AWS (Legacy) StackPack is installed.
These policies are taken directly from the CloudFormation template and should be used wherever possible.
To use a template, replace the following values:
${Region} - replace with the name of the region that the IAM role will be used for, such as
${Region}orus-east-1.${AccountId} - replace with the 12-digit AWS account ID of the AWS account that the resources will be deployed in.
StackStateAwsIntegrationRole
The JSON objects below contains the least-privilege IAM policy used by the AWS integration. The Assume Role Policy Document should grant the agent access. Refer to the AWS documentation for more information on setting a trust policy (aws.amazon.com).
Trust Relationship
For an AWS agent running outside of AWS, using an IAM user. Replace the Principal with the IAM user or AWS account that the agent is using.
