Allow aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key to be left blank #70

boto will then employ it's own resolution mechanism allowing the user to specify in config file or env var.

If the keys are not defined in the "boto way", is the error clear?

cancan101 commented 7 years ago

I think it will fall back to boto barfing with something like:

NoAuthHandlerFound: No handler was ready to authenticate. 1 handlers were checked. ['HmacAuthV1Handler'] Check your credentials
FinchPowers commented 7 years ago

Do you think it would be worth it then to handle the error to print a message telling the 2 ways StarCluster can support keys?

cancan101 commented 7 years ago

Seems overkill to me. Also not sure of all the points to catch this error and re-throw.

@cancan101 Just out of curiosity, what's the use case for leaving the credentials blank?

cancan101 commented 7 years ago

So i don't have to put my creds into config file (and I can source control it)
