Amazon Web Services

Tenzir integrates with the services from Amazon Web Services listed below.

Configuration​

To interact with AWS services, you need to provide appropriate credentials. This defaults to using AWS's default credentials provider chain.

Make sure to configure AWS credentials for the same user account that runs tenzir and tenzir-node. The AWS CLI creates configuration files for the current user under ~/.aws, which can only be read by the same user account.

The tenzir-node systemd unit by default creates a tenzir user and runs as that user, meaning that the AWS credentials must also be configured for that user. The directory ~/.aws must be readable for the tenzir user.

If a config file <prefix>/etc/tenzir/plugin/$PLUGIN.yaml or ~/.config/tenzir/plugin/$PLUGIN.yaml exists, it is always preferred over the default AWS credentials. Here, $PLUGIN is the Tenzir plugin name, such as s3 or sqs. The configuration file must have the following format:

access-key: your-access-key
secret-key: your-secret-key
session-token: your-session-token (optional)
