Full boto-like credential configuration support

[athewsey]

Trying out a Nova Speech-to-Speech example today, I was surprised aws_sdk_bedrock_runtime didn't correctly pick up my configured AWS credentials - with the below error:

aws_sdk_bedrock_runtime.models.ServiceError: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY are required

This note in the readme seems to suggest there's a known limitation here - but is there an expected timeline for this library to align to full standard CLI/boto3 credential discovery?

It was straightforward enough for me to work around on my corp laptop, but I'm worried that there are AWS environments e.g. SageMaker and ECS where AWS credentials are available and people might want to run this connector, but AFAIK these specific environment variables are not set?

Hi @athewsey,

Thanks for reaching out! This library is still in very early development which is why we have it marked as experimental. Its feature set is currently limited to the minimum requirements for making requests with Bedrock Runtime. We'll be actively iterating on this in the coming months and adding features to bring the library closer to other AWS SDKs in terms of functionality.

For now, we support credentials through three sources, your environment, static credentials and via EC2's Instance Metadata Service. Details on using those can be found in the dev-guide.

For future credential providers, we'll have updates in the changelog. The best place to follow along for that is in our underlying dependency smithy-aws-core.

Are assumed roles possible? I see Assume role credential provider linked under the "Standardized credential providers" link of the dev-guide, but I don't know how to tell it to use it :(

Hi @thavidu,

No, the linked page is a standard page across SDKs and does not accurately reflect the support of this library. Assume Role has not been implemented yet. As of right now, everything Nate said above still applies.
