Introduce a new credential provider to support Amazon EKS Pod Identity associations. This allows applications to automatically fetch IAM credentials when running on EKS by utilizing the injected environment variables and service account tokens provided by the EKS Pod Identity Agent.
The new provider is integrated into the default credential chain, sitting between container credentials and EC2 IMDSv2, ensuring a seamless experience for workloads migrating to the newer EKS identity model.
