description: "Information about authentication and configuration options for AWS"

All Dapr components using various AWS services (DynamoDB, SQS, S3, etc) use a standardized set of attributes for configuration, these are described below.
[This article](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v1/developer-guide/configuring-sdk.html#specifying-credentials) provides a good overview of how the AWS SDK (which Dapr uses) handles credentials
None of the following attributes are required, since the AWS SDK may be configured using the default provider chain described in the link above. It's important to test the component configuration and inspect the log output from the Dapr runtime to ensure that components initialize correctly.
`region`: Which AWS region to connect to. In some situations (when running Dapr in self-hosted mode, for example) this flag can be provided by the environment variable `AWS_REGION`. Since Dapr sidecar injection doesn't allow configuring environment variables on the Dapr sidecar, it is recommended to always set the `region` attribute in the component spec.
`endpoint`: The endpoint is normally handled internally by the AWS SDK. However, in some situations it might make sense to set it locally - for example if developing against [DynamoDB Local](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DynamoDBLocal.html).
`accessKey`: AWS Access key id.
`secretKey`: AWS Secret access key. Use together with `accessKey` to explicitly specify credentials.
`sessionToken`: AWS Session token. Used together with `accessKey` and `secretKey`. When using a regular IAM user's access key and secret, a session token is normally not required.
## Alternatives to explicitly specifying credentials in component manifest files
In production scenarios, it is recommended to use a solution such as [Kiam](https://github.com/uswitch/kiam) or [Kube2iam](https://github.com/jtblin/kube2iam). If running on AWS EKS, you can [link an IAM role to a Kubernetes service account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-service-account-iam-policy-and-role.html), which your pod can use.
All of these solutions solve the same problem: They allow the Dapr runtime process (or sidecar) to retrive credentials dynamically, so that explicit credentials aren't needed. This provides several benefits, such as automated key rotation, and avoiding having to manage secrets.
Both Kiam and Kube2IAM work by intercepting calls to the [instance metadata service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/configuring-instance-metadata-service.html).
## Using instance role/profile when running in stand-alone mode on AWS EC2
If running Dapr directly on an AWS EC2 instance in stand-alone mode, instance profiles can be used. Simply configure an iam role and [attach it to the instance profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-ec2_instance-profiles.html) for the ec2 instance, and Dapr should be able to authenticate to AWS without specifying credentials in the Dapr component manifest.
## Authenticating to AWS when running dapr locally in stand-alone mode
When running Dapr (or the Dapr runtime directly) in stand-alone mode, you have the option of injecting environment variables into the process like this (on Linux/MacOS:
```bash
FOO=bar daprd --app-id myapp
```
If you have [configured named AWS profiles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html) locally , you can tell Dapr (or the Dapr runtime) which profile to use by specifying the "AWS_PROFILE" environment variable:
```bash
AWS_PROFILE=myprofile dapr run...
```
or
```bash
AWS_PROFILE=myprofile daprd...
```
You can use any of the [supported environment variables](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-envvars.html#envvars-list) to configure Dapr in this manner.
On Windows, the environment variable needs to be set before starting the `dapr` or `daprd` command, doing it inline as shown above is not supported.
## Authenticating to AWS if using AWS SSO based profiles
If you authenticate to AWS using [AWS SSO](https://aws.amazon.com/single-sign-on/), some AWS SDKs (including the Go SDK) don't yet support this natively. There are several utilities you can use to "bridge the gap" between AWS SSO-based credentials, and "legacy" credentials, such as [AwsHelper](https://pypi.org/project/awshelper/) or [aws-sso-util](https://github.com/benkehoe/aws-sso-util).
If using AwsHelper, start Dapr like this:
```bash
AWS_PROFILE=myprofile awshelper dapr run...
```
or
```bash
AWS_PROFILE=myprofile awshelper daprd...
```
On Windows, the environment variable needs to be set before starting the `awshelper` command, doing it inline as shown above is not supported.
