The aws auth method uses either AWS IAM credentials or AWS-signed EC2 metadata
 | 
						|
to authenticate clients, which are IAM principals or EC2 instances.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Authentication is backed by a preconfigured role in the backend. The role
 | 
						|
represents the authorization of resources by containing Vault's policies.
 | 
						|
Role can be created using 'role/<role>' endpoint.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Authentication of IAM principals, either IAM users or roles, is done using a
 | 
						|
specifically signed AWS API request using clients' AWS IAM credentials. IAM
 | 
						|
principals can then be assigned to roles within Vault. This is known as the
 | 
						|
"iam" auth method.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Authentication of EC2 instances is done using either a signed PKCS#7 document
 | 
						|
or a detached RSA signature of an AWS EC2 instance's identity document along
 | 
						|
with a client-created nonce. This is known as the "ec2" auth method.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If there is need to further restrict the capabilities of the role on the instance
 | 
						|
that is using the role, 'role_tag' option can be enabled on the role, and a tag
 | 
						|
can be generated using 'role/<role>/tag' endpoint. This tag represents the
 | 
						|
subset of capabilities set on the role. When the 'role_tag' option is enabled on
 | 
						|
the role, the login operation requires that a respective role tag is attached to
 | 
						|
the EC2 instance which performs the login.
