This post introduces the decision to use DefaultCredentialsProvider instead of ProfileCredentialsProvider in AWS SDK for Java.
Background: DefaultCredentialsProvider is Recommended
I learned that using DefaultCredentialsProvider instead of ProfileCredentialsProvider in AWS SDK for Java is more convenient.
- 認証情報プロバイダーの変更 - AWS SDK for Java
- ProfileCredentialsProvider (AWS SDK for Java - 2.18.2)
- DefaultCredentialsProvider (AWS SDK for Java - 2.18.2)
Benefits of DefaultCredentialsProvider
It can be used on AWS without defining AWS_PROFILE.
Also, in local environments, it can be used if either of the following is set in environment variables:
AWS_PROFILEAWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
That’s all about deciding to use DefaultCredentialsProvider instead of ProfileCredentialsProvider in AWS SDK for Java. That’s all from the Gemba.
