// Package sts provides the client and types for making API
// requests to AWS Security Token Service.
//
// The AWS Security Token Service (STS) is a web service that enables you to
// request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for AWS Identity and Access
// Management (IAM) users or for users that you authenticate (federated users).
// This guide provides descriptions of the STS API. For more detailed information
// about using this service, go to Temporary Security Credentials (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html).
//
// As an alternative to using the API, you can use one of the AWS SDKs, which
// consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and
// platforms (Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide a convenient
// way to create programmatic access to STS. For example, the SDKs take care
// of cryptographically signing requests, managing errors, and retrying requests
// automatically. For information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download
// and install them, see the Tools for Amazon Web Services page (http://aws.amazon.com/tools/).
//
// For information about setting up signatures and authorization through the
// API, go to Signing AWS API Requests (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signing_aws_api_requests.html)
// in the AWS General Reference. For general information about the Query API,
// go to Making Query Requests (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/IAM_UsingQueryAPI.html)
// in Using IAM. For information about using security tokens with other AWS
// products, go to AWS Services That Work with IAM (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-services-that-work-with-iam.html)
// in the IAM User Guide.
//
// If you're new to AWS and need additional technical information about a specific
// AWS product, you can find the product's technical documentation at http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/
// (http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/).
//
// Endpoints
//
// The AWS Security Token Service (STS) has a default endpoint of https://sts.amazonaws.com
// that maps to the US East (N. Virginia) region. Additional regions are available
// and are activated by default. For more information, see Activating and Deactivating
// AWS STS in an AWS Region (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_enable-regions.html)
// in the IAM User Guide.
//
// For information about STS endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#sts_region)
// in the AWS General Reference.
//
// Recording API requests
//
// STS supports AWS CloudTrail, which is a service that records AWS calls for
// your AWS account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. By using
// information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine what requests were
// successfully made to STS, who made the request, when it was made, and so
// on. To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find
// your log files, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/what_is_cloud_trail_top_level.html).
//
// See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/WebAPI/sts-2011-06-15 for more information on this service.
//
// See sts package documentation for more information.

//
// Using the Client
//
// To use the client for AWS Security Token Service you will first need
// to create a new instance of it.
//
// When creating a client for an AWS service you'll first need to have a Session
// already created. The Session provides configuration that can be shared
// between multiple service clients. Additional configuration can be applied to
// the Session and service's client when they are constructed. The aws package's
// Config type contains several fields such as Region for the AWS Region the
// client should make API requests too. The optional Config value can be provided
// as the variadic argument for Sessions and client creation.
//
// Once the service's client is created you can use it to make API requests the
// AWS service. These clients are safe to use concurrently.
//
//   // Create a session to share configuration, and load external configuration.
//   sess := session.Must(session.NewSession())
//
//   // Create the service's client with the session.
//   svc := sts.New(sess)
//
// See the SDK's documentation for more information on how to use service clients.
// https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/
//
// See aws package's Config type for more information on configuration options.
// https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/aws/#Config
//
// See the AWS Security Token Service client STS for more
// information on creating the service's client.
// https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/sts/#New
//
// Once the client is created you can make an API request to the service.
// Each API method takes a input parameter, and returns the service response
// and an error.
//
// The API method will document which error codes the service can be returned
// by the operation if the service models the API operation's errors. These
// errors will also be available as const strings prefixed with "ErrCode".
//
//   result, err := svc.AssumeRole(params)
//   if err != nil {
//       // Cast err to awserr.Error to handle specific error codes.
//       aerr, ok := err.(awserr.Error)
//       if ok && aerr.Code() == <error code to check for> {
//           // Specific error code handling
//       }
//       return err
//   }
//
//   fmt.Println("AssumeRole result:")
//   fmt.Println(result)
//
// Using the Client with Context
//
// The service's client also provides methods to make API requests with a Context
// value. This allows you to control the timeout, and cancellation of pending
// requests. These methods also take request Option as variadic parameter to apply
// additional configuration to the API request.
//
//   ctx := context.Background()
//
//   result, err := svc.AssumeRoleWithContext(ctx, params)
//
// See the request package documentation for more information on using Context pattern
// with the SDK.
