Summary

Document that S3_USE_CREDENTIALS_FROM=ecs now covers both classic ECS task roles and EKS Pod Identity, so self-hosted Lightdash deployments on EKS can use the documented setting instead of falling back to default SDK credential resolution.

Changes

  • Added a "Selecting a credential provider with S3_USE_CREDENTIALS_FROM" subsection to the external object storage guide, including a provider table, an EKS Pod Identity example, and a note on the fall-through behavior when neither AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI nor AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_FULL_URI is set.
  • Clarified the S3_USE_CREDENTIALS_FROM row in the environment variables reference to mention both ECS task roles and EKS Pod Identity under ecs.

Context

Follows lightdash/lightdash#25743, which chains the Pod-Identity-aware fromHttp credential provider ahead of fromContainerMetadata for the ecs source so EKS Pod Identity resolves correctly without a new config value.
