There are a few ways to configure the AWS client:

Ensure the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY env vars are set.
Create a ~/.aws/credentials file.
Set Aws.config[:credentials] or Shoryuken.sqs_client = Aws::SQS::Client.new(...) from Ruby code (e.g. in a Rails initializer)
Use the Instance Profiles feature. The IAM role of the targeted machine must have an adequate SQS Policy.
