AWS SDK Wrapper
Actions15
Overview
This node acts as a generic wrapper for AWS SDK services, allowing users to interact with any AWS service by specifying the service name, operation, and input parameters. It is particularly useful when you want to perform various AWS operations without needing a dedicated node for each service or action.
For the RenewCertificate operation under the Default resource, it specifically enables renewing an AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificate programmatically. This can be beneficial in automating certificate lifecycle management, ensuring your applications always have valid SSL/TLS certificates without manual intervention.
Practical examples:
- Automatically renew ACM certificates before expiration to avoid downtime.
- Integrate certificate renewal into deployment pipelines.
- Manage multiple AWS services dynamically by changing parameters without modifying the workflow structure.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Region | Choose the AWS region where the service request will be executed. Options include all standard AWS regions such as US East (N. Virginia), EU (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), etc. |
| Service | Select the AWS service to use. For RenewCertificate, this should be set to "ACM". The list includes all AWS services supported by the SDK, e.g., S3, Lambda, EC2, ACM, etc. |
| Version | The API version of the selected AWS service. For ACM, the default and only option is "2015-12-08". |
| Request Has Input | Boolean flag indicating whether the operation requires input parameters. For example, some operations like listing buckets may not require input, while others do. |
| Request Input | JSON string representing the input parameters for the AWS SDK operation. This must be correctly formatted according to the AWS SDK documentation for the chosen operation. For RenewCertificate, this would include necessary parameters for renewal. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. Each output item contains:
json: The full response object returned from the AWS SDK call for the specified operation. For RenewCertificate, this will contain details about the renewed certificate or confirmation of the renewal action.pairedItem: The index of the input item that generated this output, enabling traceability.
If the operation returns binary data (not typical for RenewCertificate), it would be included accordingly, but this operation primarily deals with JSON responses.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential with appropriate permissions to access AWS services, specifically permissions to manage ACM certificates for the RenewCertificate operation.
- The node uses the AWS SDK v2 internally.
- AWS region and service version must be configured correctly.
- Properly formatted JSON input for the request parameters is required.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Service Error: If the specified service name does not match any AWS SDK service, the node throws an error stating the service is invalid. Ensure the service name matches exactly one of the AWS services (e.g., "ACM").
- Invalid Operation Error: If the operation name is not valid for the selected service, an error is thrown. Verify the operation name corresponds to a valid method in the AWS SDK for that service.
- Credential Issues: Errors occur if credentials are missing or incomplete. Make sure the API key credential is properly configured with accessKeyId and secretAccessKey.
- Malformed JSON Input: If the
Request InputJSON is invalid or does not conform to the expected structure for the operation, the AWS SDK call will fail. Validate JSON syntax and parameter correctness. - Permission Denied: If the AWS user lacks permissions for the requested operation, AWS will return an authorization error. Check IAM policies and roles.
- Continue on Fail: The node supports continuing execution on failure if enabled, returning error details alongside successful results.
