Snowstorm 2.2.0 Startup Error in AWS when no credentials available about snowstorm

[kaicode]

Snowstorm uses Spring Cloud libraries which will detect when the application is run in AWS. The libraries expect there to be credentials in the environment which can be used to load resources from S3. If there are no credentials available startup will fail.

This AWS auto configuration behaviour can be disabled using this property in your application.properties file:

spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextStackAutoConfiguration

Or by setting the same property using a command line argument when starting Snowstorm:

--spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.cloud.aws.autoconfigure.context.ContextStackAutoConfiguration
