The implementations I listed already support it, but I'm asking if there is a plan to add support in the official JGroups project.

No, we cannot officially support these protocols as they were written by a 3rd party. So you'd have to contact the respective companies which write these protocols anyway.

Also, they have additional dependencies, so they would not be able to make it into JGroups proper, at least for the time being.

Note that there are some protocols which are semi-supported in jgroups-extras (\[1\]).

> The AWS libraries used by S3_PING do not support authenticating into the AWS API via the EC2 instance profile (implicit credentials stored on the AWS EC2 instance).
> The AWS SDK for Java supports instance profile. This eliminates the need for storing AWS access keys in config files.
> Are there any plans to add official support for this in JGroups?
