-Error Logging
--------------

-If you prefer to not log errors as they happen (the default behavior), but accumulate
-them for later, you can set erlang environment variable `log_errors_immediately` to
-`false` as in this example:
-
-```erlang
-  {aws_credentials, [{log_errors_immediately, false}]
-  },
