AWS IAM STS Keys

Description

General

• Documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/APIReference/welcome.html
• Summary: AWS Security Token Service (STS) provides temporary security credentials that can be used to access AWS resources. STS keys are short-lived and tied to IAM roles, allowing users to programmatically access AWS resources for a limited time.

Revoke the secret

STS keys cannot be manually revoked. They automatically expire after the specified duration. To restrict access, modify or delete the IAM role or policy associated with the STS keys.
