Nick Chadwick created FLINK-4222: ------------------------------------ Summary: Allow Kinesis configuration to get credentials from AWS Metadata Key: FLINK-4222 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4222 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Streaming Connectors Affects Versions: 1.0.3 Reporter: Nick Chadwick Priority: Minor
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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
