NetBox version

v3.5-2.6.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently, one can only access an S3 via IAM Users only. Are you able to add a feature for IAM Roles as they are easier to manage and refine for minimum privilege and improved security

Use case

Access and Secret Access key management is more painstaking to manage compared to roles. So the chance to limit rotation of credentials and keys is easier with IAM Role

Database changes

I don't think this will affect the database schema

External dependencies

I believe all python package required is already a part of Netbox
