IAM access control #323

Does racecar support IAM access control?

I believe for it to support this, it would need to support a sasl_mechanism of AWS_MSK_IAM, is there anything beyond allowing this value that woul need to be done?

No and will not. Racecar is librdkafka based and here's the author stand: https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-python/issues/1320#issuecomment-1100682459

AWS IAM is a non-standard proprietary authentication scheme that is not part of Apache Kafka and thus not supported by Apache Kafka clients. You will need to contact your provider for support.

until this becomes part of librdkafka, getting it to racecar may be hard.
