In GitLab 15.0 and later, to access the AWS S3 cache, you must specify the `AuthenticationType` for [`[runners.cache.s3]`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-runnerscaches3-section). The `AuthenticationType` must be `IAM` or `credentials`. Prior to 14.5, if you did not define the `AuthenticationType`, GitLab Runner chose a type for you. stage: Verify tiers: [Core, Premium, Ultimate] issue_url: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/28171 documentation_url: https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-runnerscaches3-section
