Frequently asked questions

When should I attach AmazonODBExascaleStorageVaultAdmin?

The Oracle Database@AWS User Guide says you can attach it to your IAM identities to create and manage Exascale storage vault resources.

What does AmazonODBExascaleStorageVaultAdmin grant?

On all resources it allows odb actions to create, update, delete, view and list Exascale storage vaults, list Exascale VM clusters, view DB servers, and put, get and delete resource policies. It also allows ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones, creating the odb.amazonaws.com service-linked role, and tagging storage vault resources.

What are the security risks of AmazonODBExascaleStorageVaultAdmin?

The policy can delete Exascale storage vaults and put or delete resource policies on all resources, and it can create the odb.amazonaws.com service-linked role. AWS managed policies don't grant least privilege permissions, and an AWS update to the policy affects every identity it is attached to.
