Connections

By default, the following environment variables will be used for authentication:

AWS_PROFILE
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_PROFILE

You can also create connection resources in configuration files:

vi conns.fpc

connection "aws" "aws_profile" {
  profile = "my-profile"
}

connection "aws" "aws_access_key_pair" {
  access_key = "AKIA..."
  secret_key = "dP+C+J..."
}

connection "aws" "aws_session_token" {
  access_key = "AKIA..."
  secret_key = "dP+C+J..."
  session_token = "AQoDX..."
}

For more information on connections in Flowpipe, please see Managing Connections.

Usage

Run the pipeline and specify the aws_region pipeline arguments:

flowpipe pipeline run query_and_stop_aws_ec2_instance --arg aws_region=us-east-1

Configuration

To avoid entering variable values when running the pipeline or starting the server, you can set variable values:

cp flowpipe.fpvars.example flowpipe.fpvars
vi flowpipe.fpvars

# Optional
# aws_conn = "non_default_conn"
