Motivation
The checks that need access to an AWS Account uses the vulcan assume role endpoint for request temporary credentials from an http server.
The implementation of that server is not open source so it limits the usage of those checks.
The code if scattered and duplicated for each check.
Description
This pr allows the checks to access AWS Accounts with standard methods:
This method allows to execute the checks without requiring the vulcan-assume-role service using the aws provided credentials
TODO / DOUBT / WIP
The current solution unifies the code required to get aws.Config.
INCONCLUSIVE
if the check can not access.
