AWS Security Token Services

AWS Security Token Services

AWS Security Token Services (STS) enables you to request session tokens from the global STS endpoint which works in all AWS regions. You can use the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and configure the global STS endpoint to generate session tokens that are compatible with all AWS regions.
The following specifications make the temporary security credentials different from the long-term access key credentials used by the IAM users:
  • Temporary security credentials are short-term credentials. You cannot use them after the credentials expire.
  • Temporary security credentials are generated dynamically on request and you cannot store the temporary security credentials. You can request for new temporary credentials before or after the session expires.
  • By default, the temporary security credentials last for an hour. However, you can use the optional
    DurationSeconds
    parameter to specify the duration of your session. You can enter a value from 900 seconds (15 minutes) to the maximum session duration setting for a role. You can enter a value from 1 hour to 12 hours.
