Developed AWS KMS credential management enhancements for the kroxylicious/kroxylicious repository, focusing on simplifying and centralizing credential configuration. Introduced new credential providers using IRSA and EKS Pod Identity, aligning with Kubernetes-native identity practices to improve security and reduce configuration complexity. The work involved restructuring all AWS KMS credential settings under a unified credentials node, making future extensions more maintainable. Implemented entirely in Java, the update leverages AWS and Kubernetes expertise to streamline cloud credential workflows. This feature addressed issue #1295, documenting the changes and intent, and established a foundation for expanding credential provider support in subsequent releases.
