Pull request overview
Adds centralized Cloud Console “metadata” documentation and re-links existing AWS assume-role / PrivateLink guidance to reduce reliance on support-provided values.
Changes:
- Adds
cloud/cloud-metadata.mdxas a single reference for Console-exposed environment metadata used by IAM role assume and PrivateLink. - Adds
cloud/iam-role-assume.mdxwith an end-to-end cross-account S3 role-assume walkthrough and SQL examples. - Updates several connector and Cloud networking pages to link to the new metadata + assume-role docs, and registers the pages in the sidebar.

- This paragraph references an external ID, but the trust policy JSON example below still has an empty
Condition: {}. If an external ID is required, update the example to includests:ExternalId; otherwise remove the external-ID reference to keep the example consistent.
2. Configure the following additional trusted entities for your IAM Role to allow RisingWave to assume the role. Obtain the IAM role ARN and external ID from the [Cloud metadata](/cloud/cloud-metadata) page (**Settings** → **Cloud metadata**). See [Set up IAM role assume](/cloud/iam-role-assume) for a complete walkthrough.
```json Example
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
| ## Metadata fields | ||
|
|
||
| ### IAM role ARN | ||
|
|
||
| | Field | Example value | | ||
| |:------|:--------------| | ||
| | **IAM role ARN** | `arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/risingwave-cloud-project-abc123` | | ||
|

| The AWS IAM role ARN that RisingWave Cloud uses to access AWS resources on behalf of this project. When you configure [IAM role assume](/cloud/iam-role-assume) (cross-account S3 access), you add this ARN as a trusted principal in your IAM role's trust policy. | ||

The updated docs and connector guides reference an “external ID” from Cloud metadata, but this Cloud metadata page does not define or show that field. Add an External ID metadata field (with example value) and explain that it should be used as an sts:ExternalId condition in the IAM trust policy (and cross-link to the IAM role assume guide).
| Replace `<iam-role-arn>` with the **IAM role ARN** from Cloud metadata. | ||
|
|
||
| ```json Example: Trust policy | ||
| { | ||
| "Version": "2012-10-17", | ||
| "Statement": [ | ||
| { | ||
| "Effect": "Allow", | ||
| "Principal": { | ||
| "AWS": "<iam-role-arn>" | ||
| }, | ||
| "Action": "sts:AssumeRole" | ||
| } | ||
| ] | ||
| } | ||
| ``` |

The trust policy example doesn’t include an sts:ExternalId condition, yet other pages mention an external ID for assume-role setup. If RisingWave Cloud provides an external ID, update this template to include the external ID condition (or remove external-ID references elsewhere) so users don’t end up with an incomplete or less secure trust policy.
| ### Step 4 — Use the role in RisingWave | ||
|
|
||
| Set `s3.assume_role` to the ARN of the role you created in Step 2 and set `enable_config_load = 'true'` (RisingWave Cloud only). | ||
|
|
||
| ```sql Example: Sink using IAM role assume | ||
| CREATE SINK my_sink FROM my_source WITH ( | ||
| connector = 'redshift', -- or 'snowflake_v2', 'iceberg', etc. | ||
|
|
||
| -- S3 staging | ||
| s3.bucket_name = '<your-bucket>', | ||
| s3.region_name = '<your-region>', | ||
| s3.path = '<your-prefix>', | ||
|
|
||
| -- IAM role assume (no long-term credentials needed) | ||
| s3.assume_role = 'arn:aws:iam::<your-account-id>:role/<your-role>', | ||
| enable_config_load = 'true', | ||
|
|

This guide states enable_config_load = 'true' is “RisingWave Cloud only”, but the Redshift/Snowflake connector docs currently describe enable_config_load as “self-hosted only”. Please align the guidance across pages (either adjust this claim or update the connector docs) so users aren’t instructed to use an unsupported option.
| To use this method, you need to configure an IAM Role in AWS that RisingWave can assume. This involves: | ||
| 1. Obtaining the RisingWave service ARN from our [support team](mailto:cloud-support@risingwave-labs.com). | ||
| 1. Obtaining the RisingWave Cloud IAM role ARN and external ID from the [Cloud metadata](/cloud/cloud-metadata) page in the Console (**Settings** → **Cloud metadata**). | ||
| 2. Creating an IAM policy with the necessary S3 read/write permissions for your bucket and prefix. | ||
| 3. Configuring the IAM Role's trust policy to allow the RisingWave service ARN to assume it. | ||

This step says to obtain an “external ID” from Cloud metadata, but the new Cloud metadata page doesn’t document an external ID field, and the instructions below don’t show how it’s used. Either (a) document the external ID and show it in the trust policy condition, or (b) remove external-ID mentions here to avoid a dead end.

This step now says to obtain the IAM role ARN and external ID from Cloud metadata, but (1) the new Cloud metadata page doesn’t document an external ID field, and (2) the subsequent bullet still talks about “RisingWave service ARN” rather than using the IAM role ARN as the trusted principal. Please align this section with the new IAM role assume guide (principal = IAM role ARN, plus external ID condition if applicable).

| In RisingWave Cloud, you have two options: | ||
| - Provide `s3.access.key` and `s3.secret.key`, or | ||
| - Use IAM role delegation: grant S3 permissions to your own IAM role, allow the RisingWave Cloud tenant role to assume it, then set `s3.iam_role_arn = '<your_role_arn>'` and `enable_config_load = true`. The setup is the same as in the Snowflake sink guide: [Set up S3 IAM and role](/integrations/destinations/snowflake-v2#set-up-s3-iam-and-role). | ||
| - Use IAM role delegation: grant S3 permissions to your own IAM role, allow the RisingWave Cloud tenant role to assume it, then set `s3.iam_role_arn = '<your_role_arn>'` and `enable_config_load = true`.

This note now says users can retrieve an external ID from Cloud metadata, but the Cloud metadata page in this PR doesn’t list it. Either add the external ID field to Cloud metadata docs or remove the external-ID mention here so the link chain is consistent.

Now that PrivateLink is hidden under the Connections tab, we need to document the navigation in this page.

Done in 03a0936 — added an "Accessing PrivateLink in the Console" section to privatelink-overview.mdx with the correct navigation: Connection in the left sidebar → PrivateLink tab. Also updated the step-by-step instructions in create-a-connection.mdx to match.

🔄 Cross-Review — PR #1073Original reviewer: @implementor — Changes requested Agreed: The external ID inconsistency is real and correctly identified. Additional findings missed by original review:
Disagreement on fix direction: @implementor suggested adding External ID to cloud-metadata.mdx. However, based on maintainer review comments (explicitly stating "External Id is not used"), the fix should be the opposite — remove "external ID" references from the three connector pages ( Recommendation: Still changes requested, but the fix direction should be: (1) remove stale "external ID" references from connector pages, (2) update navigation paths from "Settings → Cloud metadata" to "Connection → Cloud Meta tab" in connector pages.

This should be fixed too. There are a few other occurrences pointed by Copilot and Martin's agent review.
