Abstract
Techniques are described for enabling software applications to obtain temporary security credentials used to interact with a cloud provider network and, upon the revocation of an active set of temporary security credentials used by an application (e.g., due to concerns about the temporary credential's potential exposure to one or more unauthorized third parties), to readily obtain new temporary security credentials that the application can use to continue operation with minimal interruption. The temporary security credentials can be used, for example, to enable the cloud provider network to authenticate requests sent by software applications or users to various services or other components of the cloud provider network. An operator of a cloud provider network may provide a software development kit (SDK) that application developers can use to incorporate functionality related to the management of temporary security credentials.
