Amplify Hosting announces support for IAM roles for server-side rendered (SSR) applications

We’re excited to announce the launch of IAM compute roles for AWS Amplify Hosting, enabling secure connections to other AWS resources from server-side rendered applications. This allows developers to integrate their SSR applications with AWS services while maintaining robust security practices.

Use Cases Unlocked:

  • Secure credential management for SSR applications
  • Direct integration with AWS services like Secrets Manager and Parameter Store
  • Support for database connections (RDS, DynamoDB)
  • Granular permission controls
  • Branch-specific role configurations

This feature is available in all 20 AWS Amplify Hosting regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Osaka) Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Milan), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Middle East (Bahrain) and South America (São Paulo).
