AWS addon is designed to be used with only one secret key/access code combo

We need a clean way of having each Integration have its own key info. The same problem will present itself with the rackspace API. All of these systems are designed to hold credential info for a single API user, not many.

I can implement this, or you can look how I solved a similar issue here. Import Guzzle (already installed in our app), instantiate it in __construct(), then create a connect() method.

Use setters and getters in your model to keep the credentials encrypted and stored in DB.

public function getAwsKeyAttribute($value) {
        return $value ? Crypt::decrypt($value) : null;
    }

    public function getAwsSecretAttribute($value) {
        return $value ? Crypt::decrypt($value) : null;
    }

    public function setKeyAttribute($value) {
        $this->attributes['key'] = Crypt::encrypt($value);
    }

    public function setSecretAttribute($value) {
        $this->attributes['secret'] = Crypt::encrypt($value);
    }
