I've been trying to evaluate Vertica EON on AWS but could not find any way to pass IAM credentials to admintools when creating the database. I know setting up an EC2 role works, but is there any way to create a Vertica EON database with specific Access-Key/Secret-Access-Key ?
I appreciate any insight someone may have on this 
yes there is a way. (applies to vertica 9.2+)
Add the following parameters to
/opt/vertica/config/admintools.conf
Then issue the create_db command. These get baked into the database.
[BootstrapParameters]
awsregion = us-east-1
awsauth = AWS_ACCESS_KEY:AWS_SECRET_KEY
awsenablehttps = 1
offcourse, ensure that this key has access to the bucket, else create_db will fail
