AWS without Access Keys

What's this blog post about?

Fly.io offers an efficient solution for running full-stack apps by converting Docker containers into lightweight hardware-backed VMs called Fly Machines. It simplifies working with other clouds and can deploy applications worldwide in minutes. The platform uses OIDC to establish secure trust between AWS and Fly.io, allowing users to access S3 buckets without sharing AWS keypairs. This method is more secure and easier to manage than traditional role-based access control methods.
