What is @aws-sdk/credential-provider-env?

The @aws-sdk/credential-provider-env package is designed to provide AWS credentials from environment variables to applications. It is part of the AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3), which is a modular collection of software for interfacing with AWS services. This package specifically helps in retrieving AWS credentials set in the environment variables, making it easier to manage credentials in a secure and scalable way, especially in containerized or serverless environments where direct file access might be limited.

What are @aws-sdk/credential-provider-env's main functionalities?

Retrieving AWS credentials from environment variables

This feature allows the application to automatically load AWS credentials (such as AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and optionally AWS_SESSION_TOKEN) from the environment variables. It is particularly useful in automated environments like CI/CD pipelines or when deploying to AWS services like AWS Lambda or ECS, where you can set environment variables securely.

const { fromEnv } = require('@aws-sdk/credential-provider-env');

const credentials = fromEnv();
// Use the credentials with an AWS SDK client
