Feature request for external aws ID support

Hello Retool team!

Currently, based on my review of your documentation and community forums, it appears that the primary method for connection is through AWS long-term access keys. However, our organization is deprecating the use of long-term keys for security reasons. Many of retool apps that interact with our AWS account are currently down. We use the retool cloud version so we can't use the AWS credential chain that comes from self hosting.

I would like to know if there are currently any alternative authentication methods available for aws resources. Specifically, are there workarounds such as using an external AWS ID as discussed in this community thread: Improve AWS resource connection security.

It would be very helpful if we could get this feature support for AWS connections.

Thanks for reaching out, @Jaison_Thomas! It feels like we've seen a fair number of similar requests in recent months - this being the most recent - and I know that our Resources team has scoped out the necessary work. While it's not on our immediate roadmap, I have to imagine it will be picked up before too long.

I'll add the context that you've shared here to our internal tracking ticket and give you an update as soon as I can!
