Utilities package for pynamodb.

AWS IAM Generator

Cross-account IAM resources made easier

Introduction

During my work as a cloud engineer, I often needed to deploy some IAM resources tangled together with some parameters. I had to do it so often I decided to wrap it all in a feasible and easy to use the library.

Generates AWS IAM Managed Policies and Roles for multiple accounts using the easy templating language. Example cross-account template and deployment execution shown below.

Installation

1. Run pip install pynamodb-utils or execute python setup.py install in the source directory
2. Add aws_iam_generator to your INSTALLED_APPS

Example

from iam_aws_generator import AWSIAMGenerator
