[aws-cpp-sdk-core]: increase STS reliability and retries#2611
Conversation
This fixes issues we have repeatedly experienced when using STS for authentication in a large Kubernetes cluster, with heavy load on STS: 1. The default connect timeout of 1s is too low. It happens that connections slow down. One case is very high load on kube DNS. A value of 30 seconds has proven to be robust. 2. The retry parameters are too short, authentication would frequently fail whenever STS was under higher load. The retry settings have worked in production for about 2 years.

Check all that applies:
We have before/after experience. Without these settings, calls to STS would frequently time out whenever STS was under higher load.
Within the close to 2 years after making this change, we no longer experienced authentication failures when STS was under load.
Check which platforms you have built SDK on to verify the correctness of this PR.
