Implement missing
credential_source = Environmentsupport in Ruby SDKProblem
The AWS CLI documentation clearly states that
credential_sourcesupports three values:Environment– Specifies that the AWS CLI is to retrieve source credentials from environment variablesEc2InstanceMetadata– Specifies that the AWS CLI is to use the IAM role attached to the EC2 instance profileEcsContainer– Specifies that the AWS CLI is to use the IAM role attached to the ECS containerHowever, the Ruby SDK only implemented the latter two, causing
InvalidCredentialSourceErrorwhen users try to use the documentedEnvironmentoption.Solution
This adds the missing
Environmentcase inSharedConfig#credentials_from_sourcethat retrieves credentials from:AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYAWS_SESSION_TOKENThis matches the documented AWS CLI behavior.
Testing
Environmentcredential sourceImpact
Fixes a gap where documented AWS credential functionality throws
InvalidCredentialSourceErrorin the Ruby SDK.
