What issue did you see?
Getting credentials from an ec2 role takes 20 seconds.
We have this issue on consistently on multiple different ec2 instances since a couple of days ago.
To me it looks like an issue with the service, but I am not sure.
Steps to reproduce
package slow
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/credentials"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/credentials/ec2rolecreds"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/ec2metadata"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
)
func getCredentialsFromRole() (*credentials.Credentials, error) {
roleProvider := &ec2rolecreds.EC2RoleProvider{
Client: ec2metadata.New(session.New()),
}
creds := credentials.NewCredentials(roleProvider)
start := time.Now().UTC()
if _, err := creds.Get(); err != nil { // this takes 20 seconds
return nil, err
}
fmt.Printf("getting credentails from role took %s\n", time.Now().UTC().Sub(start))
return creds, nil
}
