I'm trying to use Elasticsearch for data storage for a Lambda function connected to Alexa Skills Kit. The Lambda works alright without Elasticsearch but ES provides much-needed fuzzy matching.
The only way I've been able to access it from Lambda is by enabling Elasticsearch global access but that's a really bad idea. I've also been able to access from my computer via open access policy or IP address policy. Is there a way to do read-only access via Lambda and read-write via IP?
On IAM I granted my Lambda role AmazonESReadOnlyAccess. On the ES side I tried this but it only worked for IP address:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": [
"arn:aws:iam::NUMBER:root",
"arn:aws:iam::NUMBER:role/lambda_basic_execution"
]
},
"Action": "es:*",
"Resource": "arn:aws:es:us-east-1:NUMBER:domain/NAME/*"
},
{
"Sid": "",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": "es:*",
"Resource": "arn:aws:es:us-east-1:NUMBER:domain/NAME/*",
"Condition": {
"IpAddress": {
"aws:SourceIp": "MY IP"
}
}
}
]
}
This forum post asks the same question but went unanswered.
