Managing Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials
To deploy DDVEs and provision storage, DDMC needs to be able to invoke AWS APIs. AWS requires an API caller to present credentials to authenticate the caller before running the API .
To prevent security issues, the DDMC has two ways to access AWS credentials. The first, and most secure, method is to run DDMC as an AWS virtual machine. If you configure the DDMC with the AmazonEC2FullAccess, AmazonS3FullAccess, and IAMFullAccess permissions, this enables DDMC to invoke AWS APIs using a temporary set of credentials.
If you cannot use role-based credentials, you can create an Access Profile. The Access Profile securely stores the AWS public key and secret key in the DDMC database. When a user invokes the DDVE deployment API, DDMC uses the named set of credentials to deploy the DDVE and provision storage. You can create as many Access Profiles as you need using the /rest/v1.0/system/vi/access-info URI. You operate on access profiles using the standard POST, PUT, GET, and DELETE operations.
