NewUsingIAM() blocks forever outside of AWS

Accidentally initialized NewUsingIAM() outside of the AWS/IAM environment and the request blocked forever. Given that the instance metadata is generated from AWS "magic" URLs that are instant, I guess hardcoding a short $N second timeout here should be fine, given that:

  • NewUsingIAM() is currently unable to take any additional config.
  • Calling this outside of the AWS environment should return an error.
