Support IAM security tokens

[jhmartin]

Consider supporting temporary credentials as supplied by the IAM Instance Role functionality. This requires passing an additional Security Token field to the API:

AFAIK this old PR implements this feature: #160 (still not merged)

[gerner]

any updates on this? or is this actually supported somehow?

[gerner]

That PR only adds support for SNS and SQS. S3 (at least) is still missing.

It looks like there's at least some work to start integrating the token:
https://github.com/rightscale/right_aws/blob/master/lib/awsbase/right_awsbase.rb#L451

It seems that it hasn't made it's way elsewhere:
https://github.com/rightscale/right_aws/blob/master/lib/awsbase/right_awsbase.rb#L439-L440

I would expect something along the lines of:
https://gist.github.com/gerner/3ed730d4b1c2846e725c#file-instance_creds-rb-L14

Obviously, this gist is a terrible monkey patch. But you could imagine a more appropriate fix in the actual code.

You are right. S3 token support is missing in my PR. I did not realize that, sorry. But anyway, it's not merged.
