@FunctionalInterface
@SdkPublicApi
public interface AwsCredentialsProvider
extends IdentityProvider<AwsCredentialsIdentity>

Interface for loading AwsCredentials that are used for authentication.

Commonly-used implementations include StaticCredentialsProvider for a fixed set of credentials and the DefaultCredentialsProvider for discovering credentials from the host's environment. The AWS Security Token Service (STS) client also provides implementations of this interface for loading temporary, limited-privilege credentials from AWS STS.

Method Details

resolveCredentials

AwsCredentials resolveCredentials()

Returns AwsCredentials that can be used to authorize an AWS request. Each implementation of AWSCredentialsProvider can choose its own strategy for loading credentials. For example, an implementation might load credentials from an existing key management system, or load new credentials when credentials are rotated.

If an error occurs during the loading of credentials or credentials could not be found, a runtime exception will be raised.

Returns:

AwsCredentials which the caller can use to authorize an AWS request.
