This is a critical enhancement to allow customers (such as the Global Bank I work for) to maintain compliance with federal regulations if we want to continue using Db2 on AWS with S3 for backups and archive logs. Access Keys do not meet federal guidelines - we need to utilize AWS IAM Roles and Policies instead. Fresh off the federal audit.
+1.
It is a must have requirement from the operation perspective as well. Auth to S3 using IAM role will be very much useful compared to the use of access_key_id and secret_access_key.
Many of customers that I work with only provide temporary credentials to access AWS account. Getting approval for a permanent access_id and password may not be possible without going over security reviews and multiple approvals.
Not just Db2 in AWS; porting data between on-prem Db2 databases; migrating from on-prem to a Cloud instance; backup storage for any Db2 database; log archiving: all of these would benefit from a simplified use of S3 storage that doesn't involve access_key_id and secret_access_key to authenticate
