You simply omit these parameters from your settings.
The Django-Storages documentation now explains this:
If
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
andAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
are not set, boto3 internally looks up IAM credentials.
The way this works under the hood is that if you do not provide them, Django-Storages passes None
to boto3, which uses the machine’s privileges instead of a key pair. If the machine has an associated Instance Profile, this is what gets used. (See the boto3 docs for more on boto3’s credential hierarchy)
Thanks to @ChrisShenton for pointing out that the Django-Storages docs had been updated. The Django-Storages docs previously listed these configuration parameters as required, which was incorrect.
