Terraform plan and apply failing with authentication error inside docker using latest aws provider version 4.0.0

[srinivasakuruganti]

Hi,
I am running terraform using docker. However, with latest aws provider version 4.0.0 is throwing the below error

Error: error configuring Terraform AWS Provider: no valid credential sources for Terraform AWS Provider found.

Please see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws
for more information about providing credentials.

Error: no EC2 IMDS role found, operation error ec2imds: GetMetadata, canceled, context deadline exceeded

Steps to reproduce:

1. Attach IAM role to an ec2 instance
2. Run terraform plan or apply using docker container by downloading latest version 4.0.0

No issue found when using previous version 3.74.2. Also the same behaviour is not observed when running the terraform outside the docker.
