AWS SDK for Go v1.7.0 added the feature allowing your code to assume AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles with Multi Factor Authentication (MFA). This feature allows your applications to easily support users assuming IAM roles with MFA token codes with minimal setup and configuration. IAM roles enable you to manage granular permissions for a specific role or task, instead of applying those […]

Overview AWS SDK for Go released the encryption client last year, and some of our customers have asked us how to use it. We’re very excited to show you some examples in this blog post. Before we get into the examples, let’s look at what client-side encryption is and why you might want to use […]

The AWS SDK for Go v1.6.19 release adds generated constants for all modeled service response error codes. These constants improve discoverability of the error codes that a service can return, and reduce the chance of typos that can cause errors to be handled incorrectly. You can find the new error code constants within each of the SDK’s service client […]

The AWS SDK for Go  is updated for Go 1.8. This update fixes an issue in which some API operations failed with a connection reset by peer error or service error. This failure prevented API operation requests from being made. If you’re using Go 1.8 with a version of the SDK that’s earlier than v1.6.3, you need to update the SDK to at […]

In release v1.6.0 of the AWS SDK for Go, we added Regions and Endpoints metadata to the SDK. This feature enables you to easily enumerate the metadata and discover Regions, Services, and Endpoints. You can find this feature in the github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/endpoints package. The endpoints package provides a simple interface to get a service’s endpoint URL and enumerate the Region metadata. The metadata is grouped into […]

In release v1.5.0 of the AWS SDK for Go, we added setters to all API operation parameters. Setters give you the ability to set API parameters without directly taking the value’s address. The setters wrap this functionality internally so you don’t have to. The setters are a convenient way to reduce the need to use aws.String and similar utilities. The following code shows […]

In our previous post, we showed how you could use the request handler stack in the AWS SDK for Go to extend or modify how requests are sent and received. Now, we’d like to expand the idea of extending the SDK and discuss how you can unit test code that uses the SDK. The SDK’s service clients are a […]

Requests are the core of the Go SDK. They handle the network request to a specific service. When you call a service method in the AWS SDK for Go, the SDK creates a request object that contains the input parameters and request lifecycle handlers. The logic involved in each step of a request’s lifecycle, such […]
