spark spark-ec2 credentials using aws_security_token


I would like to ask if it is currently possible to use spark-ec2 script https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/ec2-scripts.html together with credentials that are consisting not only from: aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key, but it also contains aws_security_token.

When I try to run the script I am getting following error message:

ERROR:boto:Caught exception reading instance data
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does anyone has some idea what can be possibly wrong? Is aws_security_token the problem? It maybe seems to me more as boto than Spark problem.

I have tried both:

1) setting credentials in ~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config

2) setting credential by commands:

export aws_access_key_id=<my_aws_access_key>
export aws_secret_access_key=<my_aws_seecret_key>
export aws_security_token=<my_aws_security_token>

My launch command is:

./spark-ec2 -k my_key -i my_key.pem --additional-tags "mytag:tag1,mytag2:tag2" --instance-profile-name "profile1" -s 1 launch test

Solution

  • The problem was that I did not use profile called default after renaming everything worked well.
