Github user nchammas commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/1120#issuecomment-54850308 That's what I was thinking at first, but then I noticed under ["Before You Start"](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/docs/ec2-scripts.md#before-you-start) there already appear to be instructions about this: >Whenever you want to use the spark-ec2 script, set the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY to your Amazon EC2 access key ID and secret access key. These can be obtained from the AWS homepage by clicking Account > Security Credentials > Access Credentials. Perhaps we just need to clarify here how these environment variables will be used. I'm guessing the original intention _was_ to have them work as implemented in this PR.
