Terraform kafka provider does not support AWS_MSK_IAM for sasl_mechanism

[leenapatranbs]

As per the link https://github.com/aws/aws-msk-iam-auth#details
AWS_MSK_IAM can be used as one of sasl_mechanism for create topic using IAM role. However as per the terraform documentation for Kafka provider it does not support this value.

@leenapatranbs and if the MSK is also configured to enable Unauthenticated access in addition to enabling IAM? The module will work?

@taliv-upstream According to the AWS docs here that isn't possible, IAM/SASL requires TLS for client-broker and encrypted broker-broker communication.

Hi, Are there any plans to add support for IAM authentication?

@TFiroozian There's been a PR #242 open for a while, but it looks like it could use some love.

@Mongey Thank you for sharing this amazing utility ❤️. Is there any chance we can get IAM support proposed in #242 to main line 🙏🏾 🎉

I think this can be closed since #372 has been released. Although the docs haven't been updated yet.

#372 doesn't seem to use IAM role we need to export AWS_CREDS to use SASL_IAM
