# GCP Service Account to AWS IAM Role

This repo contains code that accompanies [the blog post](https://cevo.com.au/post/2019-07-29-using-gcp-service-accounts-to-access-aws/) on

using GCP Service Accounts to acquire AWS IAM Role credentials.

## Preparation

1. Create the GCP Service Account

1. Get the Service Account numeric Client ID

## Creating the stack

1. Acquire AWS credentials with rights to manage IAM Identity Providers, Lambda

   functions, and IAM Roles.

1. Build the rendered template and create the stack:

    ```shell

    CLIENT_ID= make deploy

    ```

1. Copy the ARN of the role from the Outputs of the stack

## Acquiring Credentials

1. Create an Ubuntu VM in GCP, and associate the Service Account you created above

   with it

1. Log in to that VM

1. Install pre-requisites:

    ```shell

    apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3-pip

    ```

1. Download this repo onto that system:

    ```shell

    curl -L -o gcp-to-aws.zip https://github.com/cevoaustralia/gcp-sa-to-aws-iam-role/archive/master.zip

    ```

1. Unpack the repo:

    ```shell

    unzip gcp-to-aws.zip

    ```

1. Install the dependencies:

    ```shell

    cd gcp-sa-to-aws-iam-role-master/gcp

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt

    ```

1. Run the script with the ARN of the IAM Role created by the stack (above) as

   the argument:

    ```shell

    ./get_aws_creds.py arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/DeploymentRole

    ```

1. Validate that your VM now has AWS credentials:

    ```shell

    aws sts get-caller-identity

    ```

1. Profit!
