Get started quickly using AWS with the AWS SDK for Ruby. The SDK helps take the complexity out of coding by providing Ruby classes for many AWS services including Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, DynamoDB, and more. The SDK is provided as individual downloadable packages for each AWS service, which include code and documentation. The SDK is also available through Ruby Gems. Version 3 of the AWS SDK for Ruby modularizes the monolithic SDK into service-specific gems, for example, aws-sdk-s3 and aws-sdk-dynamodb. Now each service gem uses strict semantic versioning, along with the benefits of continuous delivery of AWS API updates. With modularization, you can pick and choose which service gems your application or library requires, and update service gems independently of each other. You will need to configure credentials and a region, either in configuration files or environment variables, to make API calls. It is recommended that you provide these via your environment.
Features
- Shared configuration is loaded only a single time
- Credentials are provided statically at client creation time
- Shared credentials do not refresh
- You can also configure default credentials and the region
- You may also pass configuration options directly to Client and Resource constructors
- Construct a service client to make API calls
