i've tried adding the aws key\secret pair at all possible places - jenkins credentials, plugin configuration (under 'manage'), env-injected to specific job - all failed.
using the same pair at "Use Access/Secret keys" option works as expected.
Am i missing something?

Hi there,

Did you launch your instance with the right role? If yes, do you mind pasting your role here so that we can take a look at it?

The error you are getting: "Unable to load AWS credentials from any provider in the chain" seems to suggest that there is no role associated with the instance.
