   Hi folks, I've updated the spec to extract the Polaris service identity info 
into a nested object.
   
   Right now, I’ve added support for two types of service identities:
   * **AWS_IAM_USER**: Polaris is configured with long-lived AWS credentials 
from an IAM user. It uses these credentials to assume the IAM role provided by 
Polaris users, then accesses the remote catalog using the subscoped temp 
credentials.
   * **AWS_IAM_USER**: Polaris retrieves temporary credentials via [Amazon ECS 
container 
credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task-iam-roles.html)
 or [Amazon EC2 instance IAM role 
credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html),
 then assumes the polaris user-provided IAM role to get new temporary 
credentials to access the remote catalog.
   
   Looking ahead, we may introduce additional service identity types (e.g., GCP 
Service Account) and aim to unify the behavior between storage config and 
connection config for consistency.
