> 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?
