support fog's new use_iam_profile option #203
Conversation

This has been part of the recent releases of fog - it would be great if dragonfly was able to use it. Perhaps it would be better to make it so that dragonfly is less tightly coupled to fog? Instead of the current setup users could pass a hash of options that would be passed through verbatim to fog |
|
hi - sorry for the massively late response on the original request - I agree - passing through options verbatim simplifies things a bit. I'll merge this in soon, though FYI I will also at some point move S3, Mongo and Couch datastores out of core and into their own self-contained gems |
|
That sounds like a great plan |
|
Just wanted to pop in here and give a +1 on this. In the process of setting up the CloudFormation infrastructure for an app that will use DragonFly and IAM Instance Profiles are very attractive for credential management. Thank to both of you for working on this, can' wait to see it merged. |

sorry again for the delay - I've merged via a cherry-pick in master (still plan to separate out into a separate gem though!) |
EC2 recently gained the option for credentials to be fetched from the instance metadata service rather than embedding them in a credentials file. This patch allows dragonfly to do this (via fog's support for this - currently on master but unreleased)
