Interfacing with EC2 wasn't a use-case that I was thinking of for
network isolation of the taskotron clients, so those plans may change
somewhat. The clients aren't isolated yet, so this won't be a problem
immediately.

I suppose that we could but I'd really prefer to avoid that if at all
possible. Having one "special" client isn't an issue but it does open
the door to other task authors asking for the same thing and that will
get unmanageable pretty quick.

That being said, I'm not sure how to go about managing credentials like
that in a secure fashion. This'll require some more thought but
suggestions are certainly welcome :)
