How do I manage AWS IAM roles in a Django application?

To manage AWS IAM roles in a Django application, you can use the Boto3 library to interact with AWS services.

Can you show me an example of how to create an IAM role using Boto3?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import boto3

# Create IAM client
iam = boto3.client('iam')

# Create a role
response = iam.create_role(
    RoleName='MyDjangoRole',
    AssumeRolePolicyDocument='''
    {
        "Version": "2012-10-17",
        "Statement": [
            {
                "Effect": "Allow",
                "Principal": {
                    "Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
                },
                "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
            }
        ]
    }
    '''
)
print(response)

What permissions should I attach to this role?

It depends on your application's needs. Common permissions include S3 access, DynamoDB access, or Lambda execution permissions.

How can I attach a policy to the role?

You can attach a policy using the attach_role_policy method in Boto3. Here's an example:

iam.attach_role_policy(
    RoleName='MyDjangoRole',
    PolicyArn='arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonS3FullAccess'
)
