Hi there,
I was just curious if putting in the AWS access key ID and the AWS secret key, were mandatory?
It is possible to assign an IAM Role to an Instance Profile, and then assign that Profile to an EC2 instance.
This means an EC2 server can be given access to read objects from a bucket without having a specific AWS key configured.
And thus the s3-proxy doesn't need to be configured with any hardcoded keys.
Cheers,
Alex
