Syncovery Support Forum

Hello,

We have started evaluating running Syncovery as a Docker in AWS Elastic Container Service
On the AWS ECS task we have configured the role to have access to our buckets in order to avoid using AccessKey+SecretKey

So you know if this is supposed to work ?
Anyone had it to work ?

Thanks

Currently the only way Syncovery can access the S3 API is using an access key and a secret key.

I will look into adding alternative ways of authentication (should they exist) in the future.

Thanks a lot Tobias

We will live with key credentials for now


Indeed when using the AWS SDK from inside an AWS infrastructure such as a Lambda, a docker task etc ... you assign a role to that instance which can have well defined access rights to the AWS services. In that case, you don't need to provide the keys.

For exemple we have a lot of python codes. To access S3 we just do and the code inherits the rights given to the instance

Happy to help or do some testing if you ever go in that direction

Thanks

Hello,
yes, I will definitely look into it!

Thanks.
