AWS Developer Tools Blog

Today, we pushed our new modularized version of the AWS SDK for .NET to NuGet in preview. This means there are separate NuGet packages for each AWS service. For example, if your application uses Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB, then instead of including the existing AWSSDK package that includes all the AWS services, you can […]

By default, all objects and buckets are private in Amazon S3. Pre-Signed URLs are a popular way to let your users or customers upload or download specific objects to/from your bucket, but without requiring them to have AWS security credentials or permissions. In part 1 of this blog, we will take a look at all […]

Today, we are introducing a new addition to the AWS toolkit for Eclipse — the AWS OpsWorks plugin. This new plugin allows you to easily deploy your Java web applications from your development environment directly to AWS infrastructures. So you might remember the AWS CodeDeploy plugin that we introduced recently, and some of you have […]

Our earlier blog post introduced authentication with Amazon Cognito in the browser. Amazon Cognito has since simplified the authentication workflow. This article describes authenticating the SDK in the browser using Amazon Cognito and supported public identity providers like Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

You can now use version 2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby to verify the signatures of Amazon SNS messages. To help prevent spoofing attacks, you should verify messages are sent by Amazon SNS. The new verifier follows the documented best practices for verification, including: Always use HTTPS when getting the certificate from Amazon SNS. […]

We’ve recently added a utility class to the AWS SDK for Ruby that makes it easy to poll an Amazon SQS queue for messages. poller = Aws::SQS::QueuePoller.new(queue_url) poller.poll do |msg| puts msg.body end Messages are automatically deleted from the queue at the end of the block. This tool supports receiving and deleting messages in batches, […]

The AWS SDK for JavaScript now has support for Amazon S3 Requester Pays buckets. With Requester Pays buckets, the requester instead of the bucket owner pays the cost of the request and the data download from the bucket. The bucket owner always pays the cost of storing data. This allows bucket owners to share the […]

As mentioned earlier, we are currently working on modularizing the AWS SDK for .NET into individual packages for each service. We have pushed the changes to the modularization branch in GitHub. If you use the solution file AWSSDK.sln, it will produce a core assembly for each supported platform and individual service assemblies for each supported […]
