[s3] Feature request: support for AWS ambient credentials

[yann-soubeyrand]

Hello,

Currently, an access key must be configured statically in the configuration file. It would be great if AWS ambient credentials (EC2 instance profile, EKS pod identity, etc) could be used. I quickly had a look at the code to see if I can craft a PR, but I noticed that Minio packages are used, not the AWS SDK, so I’m not sure how to do this.

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. One of us started a rewrite of this integration using the official AWS SDK, which should support out-of-the-box the ambient credentials, but I'm not sure at which point they are.
