AWS SDK Load Config

February 14, 2022

Occasionally I was getting this random error when running Terraform.

╷
│ Error: error configuring Terraform AWS Provider: no valid credential sources for Terraform AWS Provider found.
│ 
│ Please see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws
│ for more information about providing credentials.
│ 
│ Error: RequestError: send request failed
│ caused by: Post "https://sts.amazonaws.com/": read tcp xx.xx.xx.xx:59422->xx.xx.xx.xx:443: read: connection reset by peer
│ 
│ 
│   with provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws"],
│   on main.tf line 10, in provider "aws":
│   10: provider "aws" {

╷ │ Error: error configuring Terraform AWS Provider: no valid credential sources for Terraform AWS Provider found. │ │ Please see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws │ for more information about providing credentials. │ │ Error: RequestError: send request failed │ caused by: Post "https://sts.amazonaws.com/": read tcp xx.xx.xx.xx:59422->xx.xx.xx.xx:443: read: connection reset by peer │ │ │ with provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws"], │ on main.tf line 10, in provider "aws": │ 10: provider "aws" {

Here’s the fix. Place this in your ~/.bash_profile.

export AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1

export AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1

This forces Terraform to use both config and credentials file.

AWS IAM Self Manage Policy

July 28, 2020

Here’s the permission needed for an AWS user to manage their own IAM account. The policy allows them to view their own account information, change their own passwords, rotate access keys and certificates, and manage their own git credentials.

Storing Git Credentials

February 9, 2019

There are two ways to store git credentials. One is temporary and the other permanent. You can store your git credentials unencrypted on disk forever or in cache memory temporarily.

Temporary. Store for 15 minutes.

git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=900'

git config credential.helper 'cache --timeout=900'

Permanent.

git config credential.helper store
git push http://example.com/repo.git
Username: <type your username>
Password: <type your password>

git config credential.helper store git push http://example.com/repo.git Username: <type your username> Password: <type your password>

Next time you use git, you will not be prompted for a password.
