func GetCredentials() *credentials.Credentials

GetCredentials returns the instance credentials chain. This is the default chain credentials plus the "rotating shared credentials provider", so credentials will be checked in this order:

1. Env vars (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY).
2. Shared credentials file (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/create-shared-credentials-file.html) (file at ~/.aws/credentials containing access key id and secret access key).
3. EC2 role credentials. This is an IAM role that the user specifies when they launch their EC2 container instance (ie ecsInstanceRole (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/instance_IAM_role.html)).
4. Rotating shared credentials file located at /rotatingcreds/credentials
