Question
In AWS, if you have an EC2 instances that talks with other AWS resources, like S3 (say using scripts using the AWS SDK), and you have your Access Key and Secret configured in the ~/.aws/credentials file, you can add security by replace this key setup and use [...] instead
Answer

Roles

^^ so in any setup where the credentials are pulled from the ~/.aws/credentials file, you can use Roles instead, but in setups where the configuration is pulled from somewhere else, not controlled by AWS, for example in the case of configuring AWS SES with Postfix email, where the SES access key and id are in the /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd file on your EC2 instance, you cannot switch to using roles.
