Securely Accessing AWS Resources from GitHub Actions using OpenID Connect (OIDC)
Hardcoding AWS credentials into CI/CD pipelines is one of the most common mistakes teams make—and one of the easiest to avoid.In this blog, you’ll learn how to connect GitHub Actions with AWS using OpenID Connect (OIDC), a method that skips access keys entirely. Instead of storing secrets, GitHub will request short-term credentials that allow access only to the AWS resources your workflow needs—like listing S3 buckets.We’ll cover how this works, why it’s safer than using access keys, and how to set it up step by step.
