Automating IdP and IAM Role Setup Across Multiple AWS Accounts with Terraform and Terraform Cloud

Question

Hi everyone,

I have multiple AWS accounts, and I use Terraform and Terraform Cloud to deploy infrastructure in these accounts. Currently, for each account, I manually set up an Identity Provider (IdP) in IAM and create a role. This process is time-consuming and prone to errors.

Is there a way to automate or streamline this process so that I don't have to manually set up the IdP and IAM roles in each account? I'm looking for a solution that allows me to manage these configurations efficiently across all my AWS accounts.

Any advice or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
