Conduit DynamoDB Connector v0.3.0

Today, we released Conduit DynamoDB Connector v0.3.0, adding the ability to connnect to the source connector with a session token via aws.sessionToken to help those users who can't use IAM roles.

More information

New source field aws.sessionToken to connect to the source connector with a session token.

version: 2.2
pipelines:
  - id: example
    status: running
    connectors:
      - id: example
        plugin: "dynamodb"
        settings:
          # AWS temporary session token. Note that to keep the connector running
          # long-term, you should use an IAM user with no temporary session
          # token. If the session token is used, then the connector will fail
          # once it expires.
          # Type: string
          # Required: no
          aws.sessionToken: ""

warning

We still recommend our users to use IAM roles instead of session tokens, as the session token will expire and the connector will stop working. If you need to use a session token, make sure to refresh it periodically.

Here's what we recommend using instead:

version: 2.2
pipelines:
  - id: example
    status: running
    connectors:
      - id: example
        plugin: "dynamodb"
        settings:
          # AWS access key id.
          # Type: string
          # Required: yes
          aws.accessKeyId: ""
          # AWS secret access key.
          # Type: string
          # Required: yes
          aws.secretAccessKey: ""

This is a temporary solution until we implement a more robust way to handle session tokens.
