AWS Assume role action

It lets you assume a role and sets the credentials accordingly.

Usage

The action under the hood uses the https://github.com/nordcloud/assume-role-arn tool and follows the same version schema. Below is a simple example where you pass AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY via Github secrets, and assume role in passed in DEPLOYMENT_ROLE with additional external id DEPLOYMENT_EXID. The action will set the needed credentials for later steps. For more switches you can check assume-role-arn tool.

Example:

name: CI

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - uses: nordcloud/aws-assume-role@master
      env: 
        AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
        AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
      with:
        args: -r ${{ secrets.DEPLOYMENT_ROLE }} -e ${{ secrets.DEPLOYMENT_EXID }}
