If e.g. a wrong secret access key was provided to the AWS agent, it would result in a crash with the error message

ClientError (An error occurred (SignatureDoesNotMatch) when calling the GetCallerIdentity operation: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your AWS Secret Access Key and signing method. Consult the service documentation.)

Errors due to invalid credentials are now directed to the "AWS Exceptions" service instead as with other errors that occur when accessing AWS and require user attention.
