6 VM::EC2::Security::Policy -- Simple IAM policy generator for EC2
7
9 my $policy = VM::EC2::Security::Policy->new;
10 $policy->allow('Describe*','CreateVolume','delete_volume');
11 $policy->deny('DescribeVolumes');
12 print $policy->as_string;
13
15 This is a very simple Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy
16 statement generator that works sufficiently well to create policies to
17 control access EC2 resources. It is not fully general across all AWS
18 services.
19
21 This section describes the methods available to
22 VM::EC2::Security::Policy. You will create a new, empty, policy using
23 new(), grant access to EC2 actions using allow(), and deny access to
24 EC2 actions using deny(). When you are done, either call as_string(),
25 or just use the policy object in a string context, to get a properly-
26 formatted policy string.
27
28 allow() and deny() return the modified object, allowing you to chain
29 methods. For example:
30
31 my $p = VM::EC2::Security::Policy->new
32 ->allow('Describe*')
33 ->deny('DescribeImages','DescribeInstances');
34 print $p;
35
36 $policy = VM::EC2::Security::Policy->new()
37 This class method creates a new, empty policy object. The default
38 policy object denies all access to EC2 resources.
39
40 $policy->allow('action1','action2','action3',...)
41 Grant access to the listed EC2 actions. You may specify actions using
42 Amazon's MixedCase notation (e.g. "DescribeInstances"), or using
43 VM::EC2's more Perlish underscore notation (e.g. "describe_instances").
44 You can find the list of actions in VM::EC2, or in the Amazon API
45 documentation at
46 http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/OperationList-query.html.
47
48 The "*" wildcard allows you to indicate a series of matching
49 operations. For example, to allow all Describe operations:
50
51 $policy->allow('Describe*')
52
53 As described earlier, allow() returns the object, making it easy to
54 chain methods.
55
56 $policy->deny('action1','action2','action3',...)
57 Similar to allow(), but in this case denies access to certain actions.
58 Deny statements take precedence over allow statements.
59
60 As described earlier, deny() returns the object, making it easy to
61 chain methods.
62
63 $string = $policy->as_string
64 Converts the policy into a JSON string that can be passed to
65 VM::EC2->get_federation_token(), or other AWS libraries.
66
68 When used in a string context, this object will interpolate into the
69 policy JSON string using as_string().
