AWS clients for Erlang

:rocket: Create, configure, and manage AWS services from Erlang code. :rocket:

Features

• A clean API separated per service. One module per service.
• Support for most of the AWS services.
• Generated by aws-codegen using the same JSON descriptions of AWS services used to build the AWS SDK for Go.
• Documentation updated from the official AWS docs.

Usage

Here is an example of listing Amazon Kinesis streams. First of all, start a shell with rebar3 shell, then:

> Client = aws_client:make_client(<<"my-access-key-id">>, <<"my-secret-access-key">>, <<"eu-west-1">>),
[...]
> {ok, Result, _Response} = aws_kinesis:list_streams(Client, #{}),
[...]
> io:format("~p~n", [Result]).
#{<<"HasMoreStreams">> => false,<<"StreamNames">> => []}

Here is another example, this time using a temporary client, showing how to upload a file to S3 and how to fetch it back:

> Client = aws_client:make_temporary_client(<<"my-access-key-id">>, <<"my-secret-access-key">>, <<"my-token">>, <<"eu-west-1">>).
[...]
> {ok, Content} = file:read_file("/tmp/erlang-logo.png").
[...]
> aws_s3:put_object(Client, <<"my-bucket">>, <<"my-key">>, #{<<"Body">> => Content}).
[...]
> {ok, Response, _} = aws_s3:get_object(Client, <<"my-bucket">>, <<"my-key">>).
[...]
> Content = maps:get(<<"Body">>, Response).

Installation

Simply add the library to your rebar.config:

{deps, [{aws, "0.3.0", {pkg, aws_erlang}}]}.

Obtaining Credentials

Credentials can be obtained via the separate aws_credentials application, which can be configured to fetch credentials from:

• Erlang environment variables
• OS environment variables
• An AWS credentials file
• ECS task credentials
• EC2 metadata (including v2 - IMDS)

Here is an example on how to obtain credentials:

> Credentials = aws_credentials:get_credentials().
[...]
> #{ access_key_id := AccessKeyId
   , token := Token
   , region := Region
   , secret_access_key := SecretAccessKey } = Credentials.

The aws_credentials application can be installed by adding the following to your rebar.config:

{deps, [{aws_credentials, "0.1.0"}]}.

Development

The service-specific modules are generated using the aws-codegen library from the JSON descriptions of AWS services provided by Amazon.

The rest of the code is manually written and used as support for the generated code.

Documentation

Check it Online

• Hex Docs

Build it locally

Add the rebar3_docs plugin to your global rebar3 config in ~/.config/rebar3/rebar.config:

{plugins, [rebar3_docs]}.

Then simply:

$ rebar3 docs

The docs will be available in ./doc.

Running Tests

$ rebar3 eunit
