  • NetApp Console credentials
  • AWS access keys

Answer

  • NetApp Console enables you to provide AWS credentials in a few ways: an IAM role associated with the Connector instance, by assuming an IAM role in a trusted account, or by providing AWS access keys. 

  • With the first two options, NetApp Console uses the AWS Security Token Service to obtain temporary credentials that rotate constantly. This process is the best practice because it's automatic and it's secure.

  • If you provide NetApp Console with AWS access keys, you should rotate the keys by updating them in NetApp Console at a regular interval. This is a completely manual process.
