How It Works

Vell uses cross-account IAM roles to securely access your marketplace data without storing credentials:

graph LR
    A[Your AWS Account] -->|IAM Role| B[Vell Platform]
    B -->|AssumeRole with External ID| A
    A -->|Marketplace Data| B

Security Benefits

1. No Credentials Stored - Vell never has access to your AWS access keys
2. External ID Validation - Prevents confused deputy attacks
3. Least Privilege - Only marketplace API permissions granted
4. Fully Revocable - Delete the IAM role anytime to revoke access
5. Auditable - Full CloudFormation template transparency

FAQs

Do you store my AWS credentials?

No. Vell uses temporary session credentials obtained through IAM role assumption. We never have access to your long-term AWS access keys.

Can you modify my marketplace listings?

No. The IAM role only has read-only permissions for AWS Marketplace APIs. We cannot create, modify, or delete any AWS resources.

How do I revoke access?

Simply delete the CloudFormation stack or use the "Revoke Access" button in your Vell dashboard. Access is revoked immediately.

Is this secure?

Yes. This follows AWS security best practices and is the same method used by major SaaS platforms like Datadog, New Relic, and CloudHealth.
