Is there any way to invoke lambda function with assume role?
Would like to use IAM role instead of access\_key and secret\_key.

This guide is a little dated but step 5.2 goes over using IAM role: [https://konghq.com/blog/secure-and-manage-aws-lambda-endpoints-with-kong/](https://konghq.com/blog/secure-and-manage-aws-lambda-endpoints-with-kong/). Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks for your reply.
I have gone through this plugin, (AWS Lambda plugin) it requires AWS\_ACCESS\_KEY and AWS\_SECREAT\_KEY. It is mandatory in schema.
Can I go with out that?
