Credentials for AWS IAM role sessions are short-lived. By default, they last for one hour. When calling AssumeRole you can request a different duration by passing a value between 900 (15 minutes) and 43200 (12 hours) in the DurationSeconds parameter. Note that this API call will fail if you request a session duration longer than is configured on the role itself (in the “max sesson duration” property). These credentials can be used by the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs.
