Configure DynamoDB Accounts

Overview

You must create DynamoDB Accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your pipelines. You can configure your account from SnapLogic Platform using the Designer or Manager.

Benefits of IAM support for Accounts

  • Increased security: The temporary security credentials are automatically rotated, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to other AWS services.
  • Simplified management: The need to store long-term credentials on the EC2 instance is eliminated.
  • Easy integration: The support makes it simple for EC2 instances to access other AWS services without having to manage and store credentials.
