Summary

Currently, the uploading of backup archives to S3 bucked is done with access keys. Support for AWS Role as credential.

Why should this be worked on?

Gives users more options. IAM Role is better from a security perspective compared to access keys.

We need this as well - our environment doesn't allow long lived access keys to be created and all communication with AWS services must happen via IAM roles. As I understand, the code should remove all references to access keys and let the developers decide how they want the appsmith pods to communicate with AWS services
