💖 VM::EC2::Security::FederatedUser — the federated user object bestie 💖

okay so real quick, this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's giving temporary-access realness. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

VM::EC2::Security::FederatedUser — it's a Federated user object. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she knows it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe in code, no notes:

 use VM::EC2;
 use VM::EC2::Security::Policy;

  # on your side of the connection
 $ec2 = VM::EC2->new(...);  # as usual
 my $policy = VM::EC2::Security::Policy->new;
 $policy->allow('DescribeImages','RunInstances');

 my $token = $ec2->get_federation_token(-name     => 'TemporaryUser',
                                        -duration => 60*60*3, # 3 hrs, as seconds
                                        -policy   => $policy);

 my $user = $token->federated_user;
 print $user->arn,"\n";
 print $user->federated_user_id,"\n";

like. she's handing out temporary keys to the kingdom and printing the receipts. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this object is literally a piece of the VM::EC2::Security::Token object. and what's the Token for? it gets created when you wanna grant temporary access to some or all of your AWS resources to a person who does not have an AWS account. yeah. no account, no problem, we're just vibing them in the door temporarily ✨

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• arn() — returns the Amazon Resource Name unique identifier (ARN) that's associated with the temporary user. example vibe: arn:aws:sts::123451234512345:federated-user/fred
• federatedUserId() — returns the user ID for this temporary user. example vibe: 123451234512345:fred

two methods. both slay. both return strings. periodt 💜

---

🌈 STRING OVERLOADING 🌈

when you use this object in a string context, it will interpolate as the ARN. so like, just drop it in a string and she shows up as the ARN. no extra steps, no ->arn needed, she's got main character energy like that 💅✨
