Question: This vs. IDMS hops?

[skyzyx]

Why would somebody use this instead of just increasing the IDMSv2 hops by one? https://stackoverflow.com/a/71884476/228514

If you're running a container on an EC2 instance, that's a much better method! This is aimed at the situation of, for example, running a container on your laptop.

@benkehoe: does this server automatically refresh the temp credentials on behalf of the container that hits it?

[benkehoe]

@pymonger yes, that is its purpose
