> When deploying Flink TaskManagers in an EC2 environment, it would be nice to be able to use the EC2 IAM Role credentials provided by the EC2 Metadata service.
> This allows for credentials to be automatically discovered by services running on EC2 instances at runtime, and removes the need to explicitly create and assign credentials to TaskManagers.
> This should be a fairly small change to the configuration of the flink-connector-kinesis, which will greatly improve the ease of deployment to Amazon EC2
