EC2 meta-data provider exposes IAM credentials per server role. CloudInit should expose them for use in plugins, e.g. cloudformation, sns phone home, s3 download, etc.

O so lovely it would be to be able to use eg.

#include
s3://my-bucket-with-cloud-init-data/the-init-script.sh

And have could-init to fetch and run that script from s3 with the iam role credentials. This would help me with a lot of auto-scale scenarios.

Any progress here? Why not rely on boto which already supports IAM roles out-of-the-box?

It's not 100% clear to me how the integration with IAM roles would be intended to work; could someone give some clarification and then set it back to New?

Thanks!
