DESCRIPTION
'nucleator account rolespec` provides convenient tools through which:
-
the publishers of Nucleator Stacksets can share specifications for the IAM Role(s) required for the published Stackset to function properly.
-
a consumer of one or more Nucleator Stacksets can list and review the specified IAM Roles to determine whether or not to use the Stackset and provision the required Roles in a target AWS Account
-
easily and conveniently provision the specified IAM Roles into a specified AWS Account
-
validate that required cross-account trust policies have been estabished properly, that provisioned IAM Roles can be assumed and that temporary credentials can be obtained from the AWS Secure Token Service as required for Nucleator to operate across AWS Account boundaries in a secure manner.
