AWS Security Credentials

You need valid security credentials for AWS to establish the initial connection between GigaVUE‑FM and AWS. These credentials verify your identity and determine whether you have authorization to access the resources you are requesting. AWS employs these security credentials to authenticate and authorize your requests.

You need one of the following security credentials:

• Identity and Access Management (IAM) role: If GigaVUE-FM is running within AWS, it is recommended to use an IAM role. Using an IAM role helps you securely make API requests from the instances.

  • Create an IAM role according to the permissions and policies listed in Permissions and Privileges (AWS).

  • Ensure that you are using Customer Managed Policies or Inline Policies.

• Access Keys: If GigaVUE-FM is configured in the enterprise data center, then you must use the access keys or basic credentials to connect to the VPC. Basic credentials allow full access to all the resources in your AWS account. An access key consists of an access key ID and a secret access key. For detailed instructions on creating access keys, refer to the AWS documentation on Managing Access Keys for Your AWS Account.

Note:  To obtain the IAM role or access keys, contact your AWS administrator.
