Is there a way to get Credentials from aws_config?

Is there a way to get aws_types::Credentials from aws_config::config::Config?

let shared_config = aws_config::from_env().region(region).load().await;

let creds = aws_types::Credentials::new(
    dotenv!("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),      // <--- get this from shared_config
    dotenv!("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),  // <--- get this from shared_config
    None,
    None,
    "provider_name",
);

you can retrieve them from the credentials provider: https://docs.rs/aws-types/0.0.22-alpha/aws_types/config/struct.Config.html#method.credentials_provider

let shared_config = aws_config::from_env().region(region).load().await;
let creds = shared_config
  .credentials_provider().expect("a credentials provider is loaded")
  .provide_credentials().await

Can I still set expiration time and provider name?

I'm a little confused by what you're trying to do, can you explain your entire use case?

I'm passing Credentials to aws_sig_auth for RDS.
Credentials has expires_after and provider_name fields that I would like to set.
I'm wondering how I can do that if I am creating my credentials from a Config.

Ah that makes sense! You should use the DefaultCredentialsChain directly.

When you call provide_credentials().await on the default credentials chain it will return credentials you can use with RDS. You don't need to manually construct your own credentials object.
