Design / Implementation Tips

• Tip #1
• Tip #2

Design

{
"widget-type": "select",
"label": "Authentication Method",
"name": "authenticationMethod",
"widget-attributes": {
"values": [
"Access Credentials",
"IAM"
],
"default": "Access Credentials"
}
}

Approach(s)

1.When user selected IAM role based authentication method,need to omit the properties related to keys.

2.S3 regions which are supporting both the signature versions(Version 2 and Version 4) are only supported.

3.User need to have AWS environment only to use IAM role based authentication.Non-EC2 environment can not be used.
