> It seems to me that Arrow only supports at the moment the "AssumeRole" AWS STS API, but not the other options offered:
> * [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_request.html#stsapi_comparison]
> * [https://sdk.amazonaws.com/cpp/api/LATEST/class_aws_1_1_auth_1_1_s_t_s_assume_role_web_identity_credentials_provider.html]
> I am clearly no security/infra expert, but it seems that the configuration "AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity" is used commonly in Kubernetes setups, and I believe it would be beneficial for Arrow C++ & Python library to support.
> At the moment, a workaround is to call directly `aws sts` to generate a temporary session, but it is a fairly painful solution as the session expires, all PyArrow objects with an S3 filesystem (datasets, ...) need to be re-built with new credentials.
