I am trying to use RDS proxy with TypeORM in a nestjs application. RDS Proxy uses IAM authentication, because of which I am getting authentication error after 15 minutes. Please let me know if there is a way to make typeorm refresh the token before it gets expire. (Type orm is loaded as part of app module in the nestjs lambda function)
you can give your ec2 access to your RDS via IAM Role.
If want to connect locally.
No need to pass the credentials via code.
How can I connect to a private Amazon RDS DB instance from a local machine using an Amazon EC2 instance as a bastion host?
OR
Install aws-cli.
Run: aws configure.
Add secret and access keys and session tokens, which should have access to your RDS.
This will add your credentials under the .aws/credentials file(or look for credentials file).
Write and run a background process that updates the credentials under credetails file before it expires.

I have an AWS RDS Instance that has IAM DB authentication enabled, where people can connect to the database via IAM roles as per the instructions at https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/rds-postgresql-connect-using-iam/. However, I want users to be able to connect to the RDS instance only via IAM roles, and not via the master username/password that was previously used? Is there a way to disable the master username/password, or enforce that people can only access the database via IAM roles?
I have created an appspec.yml file to use it with aws codedeploy to deploy code to aws ec2 instance. Now in that instance I have to call aws secrets manager so that I can access my secrets. For this I have to install aws cli inside the ec2 server. Now the question is after installing aws cli how do I configure aws cli with the credentials securely. I do not like the approach to write a bash script which will configure credentials inside the server as it is very insecure. Any other methods possible?
i would recomend to give the ec2 instance a IAM Role.
With the IAM-Role the Instance can access aws services without the need of credentials.
Check the offical documentation for implementation recomendations:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html
I am connecting my on-premise server via SSH (paramiko) from EC2 instance using Python script.While connecting my on-premise I use the credential (hard-coded).
The syntax is :
ssh.connect("XX.XXX.XX.XX",XX,"user id","password")
I don't want to use the hard-coded password. Could you suggest me to pass the my credentials in a secure way in AWS cloud, Please?
I use Amazon EC2 to host some web sites and databases.
I have a new developer joining me tomorrow.
If I create an IAM User, and attach the "AmazonEC2FullAccess - arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEC2FullAccess- Provides full access to Amazon EC2 via the AWS Management Console.) policy to him,
will he be able to access secrets stored inside the linux ec2 instances created in the past. Basically, does this policy somehow allow access to pre-created linux instances.
EDIT: what if he/ she attempts a disk recovery procedure? for example, mount the disk of a vm in a new ec2 instance
When you give AmazonEC2FullAccess access to the user he will be able to see all the EC2 instances in the AWS account. Even if you don't provide him the key to pre-created EC2 instances he will be able to take AMI of the pre created EC2 instance and launch it with a new key and get access to that instance.
He can also do disk recovery procedure as in you mentioned in your use case. So you have some of the below options.
Do not provide AmazonEC2FullAccess ask him what specification he needs for the server and launch the EC2 as per the specification and provide him ssh jailed user access to that EC2 instance.
Set up cloud trail so that you can monitor the resources created by that user for any suspicious activity https://aws.amazon.com/cloudtrail/
Third option is as you mentioned he is developer just provide him deployment and git access to the application running on the EC2 instance.
The IAM role only gives someone access to the AWS EC2 API, where you can do things like create new instances, shutdown existing instances, etc. This does not give someone access to login to any EC2 servers. For that you would need to give someone the SSH key (for Linux) or password (for Windows) that was setup when the server was created.
