-------------------------------------

[~cziegeler] seems related to JCR-3886 where connector connects using IAM user used to spin ec2 instance.

> The aws s3 support (jackrabbit-aws-ext module) only supports providing the credentials through a file and through an OSGi configuration. However, in general all aws related services provide more configuration values, especially when running aws it makes sense to support the metadata service.
> I suggest therefore to use com.amazonaws.auth.DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain.
> Similar goes for the region, when running in aws, 
> Region region = Regions.getCurrentRegion();
> provides automatically the correct region.
> An OSGi configuration can be used for compatibility or testing to override things
