Package sts provides the client and types for making API
requests to AWS Security Token Service.
The AWS Security Token Service (STS) is a web service that enables you to
request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for AWS Identity and Access
Management (IAM) users or for users that you authenticate (federated users).
This guide provides descriptions of the STS API. For more detailed information
about using this service, go to Temporary Security Credentials (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html).
As an alternative to using the API, you can use one of the AWS SDKs, which
consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and
platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient
way to create programmatic access to STS. For example, the SDKs take care
of cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests
automatically. For information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download
and install them, see the Tools for Amazon Web Services page (http://aws.amazon.com/tools/).
For information about setting up signatures and authorization through the
API, go to Signing AWS API Requests (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signing_aws_api_requests.html)
in the AWS General Reference. For general information about the Query API,
go to Making Query Requests (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/IAM_UsingQueryAPI.html)
in Using IAM. For information about using security tokens with other AWS
products, go to AWS Services That Work with IAM (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html)
in the IAM User Guide.
If you're new to AWS and need additional technical information about a specific
AWS product, you can find the product's technical documentation at http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/

The AWS Security Token Service (STS) has a default endpoint of https://sts.amazonaws.com
that maps to the US East (N. Virginia) region. Additional regions are available
and are activated by default. For more information, see Activating and Deactivating
AWS STS in an AWS Region (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_enable-regions.html)
in the IAM User Guide.
For information about STS endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#sts_region)
in the AWS General Reference.
STS supports AWS CloudTrail, which is a service that records AWS calls for
your AWS account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using
information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine what requests were
successfully made to STS, who made the request, when it was made, and so
on. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find
your log files, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/what_is_cloud_trail_top_level.html).
See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/WebAPI/sts-2011-06-15 for more information on this service.

To AWS Security Token Service with the SDK use the New function to create
a new service client. With that client you can make API requests to the service.
These clients are safe to use concurrently.
See the SDK's documentation for more information on how to use the SDK.
