Assuming IAM Roles with Fully Managed Connectors

What this post added

Introduces AWS IAM role integration for Confluent Cloud managed connectors, allowing the use of temporary security credentials instead of long-term access keys. This enhances security by reducing the attack vector and operational overhead associated with key rotation. The post details the process of creating an IAM role, setting up the Confluent Cloud Provider Integration, updating the IAM role trust policy, and finally creating a connector that utilizes the assumed IAM role, using Amazon DynamoDB CDC as a concrete example.
