Re: AWS IAM Roles

I would like to see the use of the valet key pattern in this case instead
of using the latest credentials. That way my CI can commit the BOSH
deployment manifest to source control and I can trace any changes which use
that unique key (ideally just one.) It also let's me eliminate a spiff
merge of the credentials from a separate repository.

Hi - I'm interested in being able to assign IAM Roles
<http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html>
to my AWS VMs. My goal is to avoid AWS credentials in my deployment
manifests and, instead, let my deployed jobs utilize the AWS metadata
endpoint to retrieve the latest credentials.

I'm also hoping such a change might eventually work for micro/boshes that
bosh-init creates, avoiding the need to manually rotate those powerful keys.

I imagine this as a new, AWS-specific cloud option for resource pools. Is
this something which would be considered as a PR, and are there any
particular considerations I should take before implementing this?

Thanks!

Danny
