Thanks! It is seeming like nobody has added the AWS Auth support to yum (yet). The appealing aspect of just using S3 (rather than having to have a server instance doing SSL+HTTP Basic/Digest) is that S3 is a REST-based storage cloud. You could just plop the rpms and metadata in the S3 bucket and be done; S3 would just serve it for you - almost zero config required! Yum seems to be an ideal tool for the EC2 environment. Perhaps I will add the AWS support if I find the free time - thanks :-).
