Hello,

I ask this question again, to know if s3ql is fit for my purpose:

Does s3ql support (and if so, how is it configured?) the use of an iam role for 
the instance that access the bucket ?

For fuse-s3fs, I just have to add iam_role=auto in the mount options and it 
automatically retrieves the credentials (key, pass and token) of the instance 
in the metadata and refreshes them when they expire.

"aws sts get-caller-identity" gives the role the instance is assuming.

So, there's no need to have an aws_access_key configured.

But s3fs isn't really what I want because of its posix limitations (no 
hardlinks, permissions are not actually managed, etc...)

So, is s3ql capable of this (or is it planned in the near future ?)

Regards,

P.C.
