Research direction

Start by tracing AWSPlugin and the extension plugin constructors and methods mentioned in the issue. Determine how IAM credentials are currently obtained for pipeline plugins and what constructor or method contracts would need to change so other AWS extension plugins can use them. Done means the refactoring supports that credential flow across the relevant extension plugins.
