Usage

To generate policies using iamfast, first navigate to a file within your codebase. iamfast currently supports the following languages:

  • JavaScript (AWS v2/v3 SDK, Azure SDK, Google Cloud SDK)
  • Python 3 (Boto3 SDK, Azure SDK, Google Cloud SDK)
  • Go (AWS v1/v2 SDK, Azure SDK, Google Cloud SDK)
  • Java (AWS v2 SDK, Google Cloud SDK)

The following programming languages are planned:

  • PHP
  • C/C++
  • Rust
  • .NET/C#
  • Ruby

Once you have navigated to a file, you can click on the generate policy button in the status bar.

When prompted, select the scope of the policy you would like to generate. The policy can be generated for the current file, or all files in the current workspace. You can then select the output language of the policy, which can be JSON, YAML, SAM or HCL. These options can be defaulted in the extension settings. The policy will then be generated and displayed in a new editor tab.
