@chadnickbok Thank you very much for opening a PR for this, I think this is
definitely a good add to the connector's config options.
Have you tested this new credential option in a AWS instance yet? I don't
expect any problems, but it would be good to have tested it out also. I'll also
give it a test, but perhaps later today.

> Key: FLINK-4222
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4222
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streaming Connectors
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Reporter: Nick Chadwick
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> When deploying Flink TaskManagers in an EC2 environment, it would be nice to
> be able to use the EC2 IAM Role credentials provided by the EC2 Metadata
> service.
> This allows for credentials to be automatically discovered by services
> running on EC2 instances at runtime, and removes the need to explicitly
> create and assign credentials to TaskManagers.
> This should be a fairly small change to the configuration of the
> flink-connector-kinesis, which will greatly improve the ease of deployment to
> Amazon EC2
