✨ What’s new

We’ve upgraded our Amazon S3 integration to support IAM Role-based authentication. This provides a more robust connection that simplifies the setup process while meeting the highest security standards.

⚙️ How it works

While we still fully support Access Keys for those who prefer them, IAM Roles are now our officially recommended approach.

Instead of using a permanent "password," your AWS account establishes a trust relationship with Abacum:

• Enhanced security: Abacum uses temporary, short-lived credentials that expire automatically.
• Smart handshake: A unique External ID ensures that only your Abacum environment can access your specific S3 bucket.
• Minimal maintenance: No more worrying about rotating or expiring Access Keys.

You can choose your preferred method the next time you set up or update your connection. You can learn more about this on Abacum Academy: 👉 Amazon S3 Bucket Integration.
