Support authentication for cloud resources using IAM roles

[abhinavgpt]

Problem

We urgently need IAM role-based authentication for AWS resources, especially AWS MSK, within Knative Eventing. Currently, only username/password authentication is documented for MSK here), which is less secure and cumbersome than IAM roles.

This feature is critical for our AWS integration and aligns with best practices. Is there an existing IAM authentication method I've missed? Are there plans to implement this? We're on AWS cloud and using Knative Eventing 1.17.4

This feature request is not just for MSK, but for supporting IAM based authentication for all the cloud resources.

Persona: Which persona is this feature for? System Operator

Exit Criteria Authetication to cloud resources such as S3, MSK, cloudStorage using IAM role based access.
