CloudFormation stack for creating least-privilege IAM roles for running Artillery on AWS Fargate / Lambda

[hassy]

What is this?

You can now deploy a CloudFormation stack to create IAM role & policy resources for running tests on AWS Fargate and Lambda.

Who is this for?

This is intended to be used by anyone who's running Artillery tests on AWS Fargate or Lambda and has not yet set up a least-privilege IAM role for running those tests with the artillery CLI (using the IAM policy & role definitions provided in the docs¹).

We recommend setting up a separate IAM role for running Artillery tests as a good security practice.

How do I get started?

To get started, go to the docs and click on Launch Stack button to deploy a CloudFormation stack for the platform you're using:

• AWS Fargate: https://www.artillery.io/docs/load-testing-at-scale/aws-fargate#setting-up-the-iam-policy-and-role-in-aws
• AWS Lambda: https://www.artillery.io/docs/load-testing-at-scale/aws-lambda#setting-up-the-iam-policy-and-role-in-aws
