Enable getting credentials from http://169.254.169.254:80 when not on ec2

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like for aws-creds
to pick up the credentials from http://169.254.169.254:80
if present, even if not running on ec2. We use a system that sets up AWS credentials on this port on developer machines, which works fine with e.g. aws s3 cp
, because it looks at http://169.254.169.254:80
and finds the credentials as if our developer machines were on ec2. In order for rust-s3
to be useful to us, we'd like to be able to pick up those credentials, so I can use it to build tools that are widely and easily used within my organization.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like for the is_ec2()
call to be removed (or made in some way optional) from from_instance_metadata()
.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There could be a separate constructor that omits the check for is_ec2()
. This could be something like Credentials::from_hologram()` potentially, although it would also work on ec2.
Additional context
The system we're using is called hologram: https://github.com/AdRoll/hologram
