Can Boto assume roles via EKS Service Account

We currenlty use: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html

We have a few legacy services running on EC2 instances, using boto (not boto3) .. they are all using an IAM role on the instance.

Since boto is old, I havent been able to find any information on whether or not a boto application can use the EKS Service Account IAM Roles.

my Initial test, using our existing framework, results in the the application not getting the AWS permissions.

AWS has documentation for minimum supported SDK : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/iam-roles-for-service-accounts-minimum-sdk.html.

I actually got bitten by using old version of aws-cli and wasn't working and wasting lots of time on it.

For boto below are minimum supported version

Python (Boto3) — 1.9.220

Python (botocore) — 1.12.200
