Hi Thomas, I haven't encountered that before, sorry. I assume you're still using Flink 1.12? The PR I linked to updated the AWS dependencies to the minimum required versions to use this feature, so I'm not sure just setting the credentials provider alone would be sufficient. The PR was currently only merged for the upcoming 1.14 release, but perhaps you could try the current release candidate to see if it works with that? If that works we could also think about backporting this change, we just initially didn't do that since upgrading those dependencies has a certain operational risk and we want to wait for user feedback first.
