Using IAM Roles Anywhere eliminates the need to manage long-term credentials for workloads running outside of Amazon Web Services.

IAM Roles Anywhere provides a way to get temporary credentials for a workload or process that runs outside of AWS. A trust anchor is established with the certificate authority to get temporary credentials for the associated IAM role.

By using IAM Roles Anywhere, your workloads, applications, containers, or devices that run external to AWS can access AWS resources and perform tasks like backing up data to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), or use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and the AWS encryption SDK to encrypt your data.

September 22, 2023 - AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles Anywhere is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. IAM Roles Anywhere enables workloads that run outside of AWS to access AWS resources using IAM roles and policies in the same way you do from your AWS workloads.

Whilst IAM Roles are a powerful tool for managing access to AWS resources did you know that they can also be directly used outside of the AWS ecosystem without the need for any IAM user accounts defined for programmatic access only? This is achieved by using the IAM Roles Anywhere approach.

August 1, 2022 - Roles Anywhere is a newly released AWS service that allows you to use your private key infrastructure (PKI) to generate temporary credentials for accessing IAM roles from outside of AWS.

If your workload run outside of AWS, the most common choice is to create a new user, give it the necessary permissions, and generate access key. However, if that key is compromised, an attacker can use the key with no contraints. IAM Roles Anywhere aims to improve things.

March 10, 2025 - Regarding the lack of a front-end CRL configuration portal and the absence of an import button on the console, this is a limitation in the current implementation of IAM Roles Anywhere. The service currently only supports CRL management through the API and CLI, which can be less convenient for users who prefer manual configuration through a graphical interface. The reasons behind these design choices are not explicitly stated in the available documentation. However, it's possible that AWS chose this approach to encourage automated solutions for CRL management, such as using AWS Lambda for importing CRLs, as you mentioned.

May 20, 2024 - AWS IAM Roles Anywhere is a feature that allows workloads running outside of AWS, such as on-premises servers, containers, and applications, to access AWS resources using temporary security credentials obtained by assuming an IAM role.
