It would be great if we were able to provide an alternate IAM role or creds profile for a KafkaJS as it supported currently in Java version https://github.com/aws/aws-msk-iam-auth#specifying-an-alternate-credential-profile-for-a-client

Will check this weekend.

I would also be interested in seeing an example of how to configure/use the library to assume a role and use the assumed role's credentials for authorization. Thanks!

You can

Pass your own credentials provider.
Set $AWS_PROFILE environment variable.
