// # Security Token Service
//
// Amazon Web Services provides Security Token Service (STS) as a web service that
// enables you to request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for users. This
// guide describes the STS API. For more information, see [Temporary Security Credentials]in the IAM User Guide.
//
// As an alternative to using the API, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services
// SDKs, which consist of libraries and sample code for various programming
// languages and platforms such as Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, and others. The
// SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to STS. For example,
// the SDKs can cryptographically sign requests, manage errors, and retry requests
// automatically. For information about the Amazon Web Services SDKs, see [Tools to Build on Amazon Web Services].
//
// For information about setting up signatures and authorization through the API,
// see [Signing Amazon Web Services API Requests]in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. For general information about
// the Query API, see [Making Query Requests]in the IAM User Guide. For information about using security
// tokens with other Amazon Web Services products, see [Amazon Web Services Services That Work with IAM]in the IAM User Guide.
//
// For information about STS endpoints, see [STS Regions and endpoints] in the IAM User Guide. For
// information about logging STS API calls, see [Logging IAM and STS API calls with CloudTrail]in the IAM User Guide.
