The credentials used to sign the GetCallerIdentity request can come from the EC2 instance metadata service for an EC2 instance, or from the AWS environment variables in an AWS Lambda function execution, which obviates the need for an operator to manually provision some sort of identity material first. However, the credentials can, in principle, come from anywhere, not just from the locations AWS has provided for you.

 to the AWS STS API endpoint; they merely need access to the credentials to sign
 the request. However, it means that the Vault server does need network-level
 access to send requests to the STS endpoint.
