 * Hi,
 * Looking at the code of the plugin, it seems that the AWS access key/secret is
   mandatory for the plugin to work. This defeat the purpose of EC2 instance profile/
   role which we heavily rely on.
 * The AWS PHP SDK support this out of the box (just need to omit the credentials):
   [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/guide/guide/credentials.html#instance-profile-credentials](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/guide/guide/credentials.html#instance-profile-credentials)
 * Any chance to have the support for EC2 instance profile credentials in the next
   release?
 * Thanks,
    Pierre

 * There’s always a chance, but it’s not likely to happen any time soon. I’m starting
   a multi-month client gig so any updates to this plugin before that is over will
   be based on what they need and critical bug fixes.
 * However, you can fork it, make the changes and send me a pull request:
