[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-2109) S3_PING: add support for instance metadata

[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13406963#comment-13406963 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-2109:
--------------------------------

OK, [~keremkacel], a few weeks ago, I ported Zalando's natiev-s3-ping to JGroups 4, and the result is in jgroups-extras [1].

This repo is also supported. The reason the new NATIVE_S3_PING is not in the JGroups repo is that I don't want to have any dependencies in the JGroups core code. Implementing NATIVE_S3_PING in jgroups-extras allowed me to use Amazon's AWS SDK as dependency.

I'm closing this issue. If you find issues in NATIVE_S3_PING, create separate new issues.

> 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?
