Summary of Changes

Hello @havetisyan, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a significant enhancement to how Lambda identities are stored in AWS Secrets Manager. It provides the flexibility to specify a target IAM role ARN, which the application will assume before interacting with Secrets Manager. This change is crucial for scenarios requiring secure cross-account or cross-role access, improving the overall security posture and operational flexibility for managing secrets.

Highlights

  • Enhanced Secrets Manager Access: Added an option to specify a targetRoleArn when storing Lambda identity in AWS Secrets Manager, allowing the function to assume a different IAM role for accessing the secret.
  • Cross-Account/Role Capability: Implemented logic to use AWS STS AssumeRoleProvider to obtain temporary credentials, enabling secure cross-account or cross-role access to Secrets Manager.
  • API Update: Modified the StoreAthenzIdentityInSecretManagerCustomFormat function signature to include the new targetRoleArn parameter, with StoreAthenzIdentityInSecretManager updated for backward compatibility.
Changelog
  • libs/go/sia/aws/lambda/lambda.go
    • Imported the stscreds package to support AWS STS role assumption.
    • Updated the StoreAthenzIdentityInSecretManager function to pass an empty string for the new targetRoleArn parameter, maintaining backward compatibility.
    • Modified the StoreAthenzIdentityInSecretManagerCustomFormat function signature to accept a targetRoleArn string.
    • Added conditional logic within StoreAthenzIdentityInSecretManagerCustomFormat to assume the specified targetRoleArn using STS credentials before interacting with AWS Secrets Manager.

Code Review

This pull request adds an option to specify a targetRoleArn when storing a Lambda identity in AWS Secrets Manager. This allows assuming an IAM role before interacting with Secrets Manager. The implementation correctly uses the AWS SDK v2 to handle role assumption. My review includes a suggestion to improve the robustness of the functions by propagating context.Context to handle cancellations and timeouts for network operations.
