Similar packages

Other packages similar to @aws-sdk/credential-provider-http

@aws-sdk/credential-provider-ini

Similar to @aws-sdk/credential-provider-http, this package is used to load AWS credentials. However, it loads credentials from local INI-formatted files (e.g., ~/.aws/credentials). It's useful for development environments but less suited for production environments compared to @aws-sdk/credential-provider-http, which can dynamically fetch credentials.

@aws-sdk/credential-provider-imds

This package specifically targets the retrieval of AWS credentials from the EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDS). It offers functionality similar to one aspect of @aws-sdk/credential-provider-http but is exclusively focused on EC2 instances. The @aws-sdk/credential-provider-http package is more versatile as it also supports custom HTTP endpoints.

@aws-sdk/credential-provider-env

This package retrieves AWS credentials set in environment variables. It's a simpler approach compared to @aws-sdk/credential-provider-http, suitable for scenarios where credentials are statically defined in the environment. However, it lacks the dynamic credential retrieval capabilities of @aws-sdk/credential-provider-http.
