/* Package session provides configuration for the SDK's service clients. Sessions can be shared across all service clients that share the same base configuration. The Session is built from the SDK's default configuration and request handlers. Sessions should be cached when possible, because creating a new Session will load all configuration values from the environment, and config files each time the Session is created. Sharing the Session value across all of your service clients will ensure the configuration is loaded the fewest number of times possible. Concurrency Sessions are safe to use concurrently as long as the Session is not being modified. The SDK will not modify the Session once the Session has been created. Creating service clients concurrently from a shared Session is safe. Sessions from Shared Config Sessions can be created using the method above that will only load the additional config if the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set. Alternatively you can explicitly create a Session with shared config enabled. To do this you can use NewSessionWithOptions to configure how the Session will be created. Using the NewSessionWithOptions with SharedConfigState set to SharedConfigEnabled will create the session as if the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable was set. Creating Sessions When creating Sessions optional aws.Config values can be passed in that will override the default, or loaded config values the Session is being created with. This allows you to provide additional, or case based, configuration as needed. By default NewSession will only load credentials from the shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials). If the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set to a truthy value the Session will be created from the configuration values from the shared config (~/.aws/config) and shared credentials (~/.aws/credentials) files. See the section Sessions from Shared Config for more information. Create a Session with the default config and request handlers. With credentials region, and profile loaded from the environment and shared config automatically. Requires the AWS_PROFILE to be set, or "default" is used. // Create Session sess, err := session.NewSession() // Create a Session with a custom region sess, err := session.NewSession(&aws.Config{Region: aws.String("us-east-1")}) // Create a S3 client instance from a session sess, err := session.NewSession() if err != nil { // Handle Session creation error } svc := s3.New(sess) Create Session With Option Overrides In addition to NewSession, Sessions can be created using NewSessionWithOptions. This func allows you to control and override how the Session will be created through code instead of being driven by environment variables only. Use NewSessionWithOptions when you want to provide the config profile, or override the shared config state (AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG). // Equivalent to session.New sess, err := session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{}) // Specify profile to load for the session's config sess, err := session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{ Profile: "profile_name", }) // Specify profile for config and region for requests sess, err := session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{ Config: aws.Config{Region: aws.String("us-east-1")}, Profile: "profile_name", }) // Force enable Shared Config support sess, err := session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{ SharedConfigState: SharedConfigEnable, }) Adding Handlers You can add handlers to a session for processing HTTP requests. All service clients that use the session inherit the handlers. For example, the following handler logs every request and its payload made by a service client: // Create a session, and add additional handlers for all service // clients created with the Session to inherit. Adds logging handler. sess, err := session.NewSession() sess.Handlers.Send.PushFront(func(r *request.Request) { // Log every request made and its payload logger.Println("Request: %s/%s, Payload: %s", r.ClientInfo.ServiceName, r.Operation, r.Params) }) Deprecated "New" function The New session function has been deprecated because it does not provide good way to return errors that occur when loading the configuration files and values. Because of this, NewSession was created so errors can be retrieved when creating a session fails. Shared Config Fields By default the SDK will only load the shared credentials file's (~/.aws/credentials) credentials values, and all other config is provided by the environment variables, SDK defaults, and user provided aws.Config values. If the AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG environment variable is set, or SharedConfigEnable option is used to create the Session the full shared config values will be loaded. This includes credentials, region, and support for assume role. In addition the Session will load its configuration from both the shared config file (~/.aws/config) and shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials). Both files have the same format. If both config files are present the configuration from both files will be read. The Session will be created from configuration values from the shared credentials file (~/.aws/credentials) over those in the shared credentials file (~/.aws/config). Credentials are the values the SDK should use for authenticating requests with AWS Services. They arfrom a configuration file will need to include both aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key must be provided together in the same file to be considered valid. The values will be ignored if not a complete group. aws_session_token is an optional field that can be provided if both of the other two fields are also provided. aws_access_key_id = AKID aws_secret_access_key = SECRET aws_session_token = TOKEN Assume Role values allow you to configure the SDK to assume an IAM role using a set of credentials provided in a config file via the source_profile field. Both "role_arn" and "source_profile" are required. The SDK does not support assuming a role with MFA token Via the Session's constructor. You can use the stscreds.AssumeRoleProvider credentials provider to specify custom configuration and support for MFA. role_arn = arn:aws:iam:::role/ source_profile = profile_with_creds external_id = 1234 mfa_serial = not supported! role_session_name = session_name Region is the region the SDK should use for looking up AWS service endpoints and signing requests. region = us-east-1 Environment Variables When a Session is created several environment variables can be set to adjust how the SDK functions, and what configuration data it loads when creating Sessions. All environment values are optional, but some values like credentials require multiple of the values to set or the partial values will be ignored. All environment variable values are strings unless otherwise noted. Environment configuration values. If set both Access Key ID and Secret Access Key must be provided. Session Token and optionally also be provided, but is not required. # Access Key ID AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKID AWS_ACCESS_KEY=AKID # only read if AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID is not set. # Secret Access Key AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=SECRET AWS_SECRET_KEY=SECRET=SECRET # only read if AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY is not set. # Session Token AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=TOKEN Region value will instruct the SDK where to make service API requests to. If is not provided in the environment the region must be provided before a service client request is made. AWS_REGION=us-east-1 # AWS_DEFAULT_REGION is only read if AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG is also set, # and AWS_REGION is not also set. AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1 Profile name the SDK should load use when loading shared config from the configuration files. If not provided "default" will be used as the profile name. AWS_PROFILE=my_profile # AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE is only read if AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG is also set, # and AWS_PROFILE is not also set. AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=my_profile SDK load config instructs the SDK to load the shared config in addition to shared credentials. This also expands the configuration loaded so the shared credentials will have parity with the shared config file. This also enables Region and Profile support for the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION and AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE env values as well. AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1 Shared credentials file path can be set to instruct the SDK to use an alternative file for the shared credentials. If not set the file will be loaded from $HOME/.aws/credentials on Linux/Unix based systems, and %USERPROFILE%\.aws\credentials on Windows. AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE=$HOME/my_shared_credentials Shared config file path can be set to instruct the SDK to use an alternative file for the shared config. If not set the file will be loaded from $HOME/.aws/config on Linux/Unix based systems, and %USERPROFILE%\.aws\config on Windows. AWS_CONFIG_FILE=$HOME/my_shared_config */ package session
