Require AWS SDK in Rust #3856

Closed

Description

@prashah-confluent

Describe the feature

Currently, the AWS SDK is available in languages like ruby, python, java etc. However, we need AWS SDK in Rust so that it can be easily hooked into our Rust based project.

Based on the official documentation, I don't see AWS SDK being available for RUST : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_GetWebIdentityToken.html#API_GetWebIdentityToken_SeeAlso

Apologies for posting it in C++ forum but couldn't find a generic forum to post this.

Use Case

We have a Rust based client and we wish to enable IAM feature for the users by calling GetWebIdentityToken API. To enable that we would like to rely on AWS SDK for resolving the credential chain. However, since the SDK isn't available in Rust we can't go ahead with supporting the feature.

    I think that rust aws sdk is available at https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust. Just to confirm it supports GetWebIdentityToken API right?

    May be the doc needs to be updated.
