Querying the Public IP Address Ranges for AWS

A post on the AWS Official Blog last November noted that the authoritative public IP address ranges used by AWS could now be obtained from a JSON-format file.

Leveraging the s3 and s3api Commands

Have you ever run aws help on the command line or browsed the AWS CLI Reference Documentation and noticed that there are two sets of Amazon S3 commands to choose from: s3 and s3api? If you are completely unfamiliar with either the s3 or s3api commands, you can read about the two commands in the […]

AWS Resource APIs for SNS and SQS

Last week we released version 0.0.3 of the AWS Resource APIs for Java, adding support for the Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). SNS and SQS are similar services that together provide a fully-managed cloud messaging platform. These services expose two powerful primitives — Topics and Queues — which let […]
