  Constructor and Description
  InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider () Deprecated. for the singleton method getInstance().
  InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider (boolean refreshCredentialsAsync) Spins up a new thread to refresh the credentials asynchronously if refreshCredentialsAsync is set to true, otherwise the credentials will be refreshed from the instance metadata service synchronously,

    @Deprecated
    public InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider()

    Deprecated. for the singleton method getInstance().

  • InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider

    public InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider(boolean refreshCredentialsAsync)

    Spins up a new thread to refresh the credentials asynchronously if refreshCredentialsAsync is set to true, otherwise the credentials will be refreshed from the instance metadata service synchronously,

    It is strongly recommended to reuse instances of this credentials provider, especially when async refreshing is used since a background thread is created.

    Parameters:

    refreshCredentialsAsync - true if credentials needs to be refreshed asynchronously else false.

• Method Detail

  • createAsyncRefreshingProvider

    public static InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider createAsyncRefreshingProvider(boolean eagerlyRefreshCredentialsAsync)

    Spins up a new thread to refresh the credentials asynchronously.

    It is strongly recommended to reuse instances of this credentials provider, especially when async refreshing is used since a background thread is created.

    Parameters:

    eagerlyRefreshCredentialsAsync - when set to false will not attempt to refresh credentials asynchronously until after a call has been made to getCredentials() - ensures that BaseCredentialsFetcher.getCredentials() is only hit when this CredentialProvider is actually required

  • getInstance

    public static InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider getInstance()

    Returns a singleton InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider that does not refresh credentials asynchronously.

    See InstanceProfileCredentialsProvider(boolean) or createAsyncRefreshingProvider(boolean) for asynchronous credentials refreshing.

  • getCredentials

    public AWSCredentials getCredentials()

    Returns AWSCredentials which the caller can use to authorize an AWS request. Each implementation of AWSCredentialsProvider can chose 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.

    Specified by:

    getCredentials in interface AWSCredentialsProvider

    Returns:

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

    Throws:

    AmazonClientException - if SDKGlobalConfiguration.isEc2MetadataDisabled() is true

  • refresh

    public void refresh()

    Description copied from interface: AWSCredentialsProvider
    Forces this credentials provider to refresh its credentials. For many implementations of credentials provider, this method may simply be a no-op, such as any credentials provider implementation that vends static/non-changing credentials. For other implementations that vend different credentials through out their lifetime, this method should force the credentials provider to refresh its credentials.

    Specified by:

    refresh in interface AWSCredentialsProvider

  • close

    public void close()
     throws IOException 

    Specified by:

    close in interface Closeable

    Specified by:

    close in interface AutoCloseable

    Throws:

    IOException
