AWS lambda - Read CloudWatch Stats from account-a and write to account-b











up vote

I have a code which currently runs on a VM that every minute reads a bunch of stats from several ALBs across multiple regions and write them to a client's CloudWatch ("putMetricData"), which I'd like to migrate to a lambda function.



Obviously, I read from account-a under particular set of permissions and writes to the other under another one.



The way the switch is performed today is by running



aws sts assume-role ...


And setting export AWS_* (4 variables) before calling:



aws cloudwatch put-metric-data...


I wonder how can such a "switch" can be implemented using lambda.
