Good morning
We do have a Spring boot application deployed in a EKS cluster.

The application access a mongodb deployed in mongodb Atlass cluster. The connexion to the mongodb is currently done with userName/password.

I’m investigating on how to use AWS IAM role instead of userName/password.

From mongodb documentation, the setps should be:

• Assign the role to my eks pod
• manually assume the IAM role to connect to my cluster

But the steps are not really well described.

Does anyone have a well details steps to achieved this please?

• What kind of role should be created in AWS console?
• How to assign the role to my eks pod?
• From Java source code, how to manually assume the IAM role to connect to my my mongodb cluster from eks pod?

Thanks a lot
