Thoughts of using credentials file?

[willieowens]

Have you thought about adding support for the credentials file, which you can control via the AWS_PROFILE environmental variable? I like using the credentials file as all my creds are in one place and I can easily change between them.

Sounds like a good idea.

If this plugin gets upgraded to use the newer requests plugin for AWS auth aws-requests-auth, then that has support for automatically gathering AWS credentials using botocore.

Upgrading to this requests plugin would also bring support for the newer SigV4 auth algorithm which AWS services are now using.
