Why
Currently, Kraken expects all authentication credentials for backend clients (e.g. S3 and GCS) to be in the .yaml config. This works well for S3 and other backends, whose authentication credentials are strings and thus can be easily inserted into a .yaml file. However, it does not work for clients like GCS, whose authentication credentials are whole files (e.g. GCS uses an "access_blob").
It would be more convenient to have the option of Kraken accepting a path to an access_blob that it could then parse, similar to how parsing the TLS config works.
