Great! This has been missing for a while.

Without knowing much about this AWS feature, I would say that at a
high level it should work similarly to the
`kubernetes-credentials-provider` plugin which make K8s `Secret`s
available as Jenkins credentials. That plugin uses annotations to
allow Jenkins-specific bindings to be made without needing any
particular configuration on the Jenkins side, making it easier to tear
down and recreate a Jenkins service.

It would make sense under @jenkinsci I think.

Regarding relationships to existing Jenkins plugins, you can integrate
with `aws-global-configuration` if some Jenkins configuration is
necessary. Check whether there is some overlap with
`aws-parameter-store`. I believe it is independent of
`aws-credentials`, and likely no integration would be needed since for
this use case you would normally just use an EC2 instance account if I
get it right.
