Hey guys,

I found there is a [commit](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/commit/64a2077787904f144f77839660071f35f25d181f) about AWS sts support in dev branch of ansible-core-modules, and that probably will be release in v2. So I am curious is that possible we can have it in v1.9 as well, so I just create a [PR](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/2557) for it in stable-1.9.

We are being stuck by AWS sts by using ansible 1.9 for a while. ☹

Cheers,  
droxer

We normally only backport bugfixes to the maintenance branches, not  
new features.

But in most cases you can download the newer modules and override the  
distributed one by putting it into a 'library' directory adjacent to  
your plays or inside a role.

Hey Brian,

Thanks for your reply.

I don’t think that is a new feature, the issue is caused by we did’t put security\_token in parameters by call Boto API. And then we will get following error when we using Ansible against AWS temporary security credentials.

`  
The security token included in the request is invalid.

`

The error is very confused to me, I was thinking that is problem of Boto.

BTW, If your guys insist that AWS sts can only will support in Ansible v2, what’s the release date of ansible v2?
