AWS SDK for Ruby - Version 2

![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join Chat.svg) Build Status Code Climate Coverage Status Dependency Status

This is version 2 of the aws-sdk gem. Version 1 can be found in the aws-sdk-v1 branch.

NameError: uninitialized constant AWS

If you receive this error, you likely have upgraded to version 2 of the aws-sdk gem unintentionally. Version 2 uses the Aws namespace, not AWS. This allows version 1 and version 2 to be used in the same application.

Installation

The AWS SDK for Ruby is available as the aws-sdk gem from RubyGems. Please use a major version when expressing a dependency on aws-sdk.

gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 2'

Configuration

You need to configure :credentials and a :region to make API calls. It is recommended that you provide these via your environment. This makes it easier to rotate credentials and it keeps your secrets out of source control.

The SDK searches the following locations for credentials:

  • ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'] and ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
  • Unless ENV['AWS_SDK_CONFIG_OPT_OUT'] is set, the shared configuration files (~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config) will be checked for a role_arn and source_profile, which if present will be used to attempt to assume a role.
  • The shared credentials ini file at ~/.aws/credentials (more information)
    • Unless ENV['AWS_SDK_CONFIG_OPT_OUT'] is set, the shared configuration ini file at ~/.aws/config will also be parsed for credentials.
  • From an instance profile when running on EC2, or from the ECS credential provider when running in an ECS container with that feature enabled.

The SDK searches the following locations for a region:

  • ENV['AWS_REGION']
  • Unless ENV['AWS_SDK_CONFIG_OPT_OUT'] is set, the shared configuration files (~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config) will also be checked for a region selection.

The region is used to construct an SSL endpoint. If you need to connect to a non-standard endpoint, you may specify the :endpoint option.

Configuration Options

You can configure default credentials and region via Aws.config. In version 2, Aws.config is a vanilla Ruby hash, not a method like it was in version 1. The Aws.config hash takes precedence over environment variables.

require 'aws-sdk'

Aws.config.update({
  region: 'us-west-2',
  credentials: Aws::Credentials.new('akid', 'secret')
})

Valid region and credentials options are:

You may also pass configuration options directly to resource and client constructors. These options take precedence over the environment and Aws.config defaults.

# resource constructors
ec2 = Aws::EC2::Resource.new(region:'us-west-2', credentials: credentials)

# client constructors
ec2 = Aws::EC2::Client.new(region:'us-west-2', credentials: credentials)

Please take care to never commit credentials to source control. We strongly recommended loading credentials from an external source.

require 'aws-sdk'
require 'json'
creds = JSON.load(File.read('secrets.json'))
Aws.config[:credentials] = Aws::Credentials.new(creds['AccessKeyId'], creds['SecretAccessKey'])

API Clients (aws-sdk-core gem)

Construct a service client to make API calls. Each client provides a 1-to-1 mapping of methods to API operations. Refer to the API documentation for a complete list of available methods.

# list buckets in Amazon S3
s3 = Aws::S3::Client.new
resp = s3.list_buckets
resp.buckets.map(&:name)
#=> ["bucket-1", "bucket-2", ...]

API methods accept a hash of additional request parameters and return structured response data.

# list the first two objects in a bucket
resp = s3.list_objects(bucket: 'aws-sdk-core', max_keys: 2)
resp.contents.each do |object|
  puts "#{object.key} => #{object.etag}"
end

Paging Responses

Many AWS operations limit the number of results returned with each response. To make it easy to get the next page of results, every AWS response object is enumerable:

# yields one response object per API call made, this will enumerate
# EVERY object in the named bucket
s3.list_objects(bucket:'aws-sdk').each do |response|
  puts response.contents.map(&:key)
end

If you prefer to control paging yourself, response objects have helper methods that control paging:

# make a request that returns a truncated response
resp = s3.list_objects(bucket:'aws-sdk')

resp.last_page? #=> false
resp.next_page? #=> true
resp = resp.next_page # send a request for the next response page
resp = resp.next_page until resp.last_page?

Waiters

Waiters are utility methods that poll for a particular state. To invoke a waiter, call #wait_until on a client:

begin
  ec2.wait_until(:instance_running, instance_ids:['i-12345678'])
  puts "instance running"
rescue Aws::Waiters::Errors::WaiterFailed => error
  puts "failed waiting for instance running: #{error.message}"
end

Waiters have sensible default polling intervals and maximum attempts. You can configure these per call to #wait_until. You can also register callbacks that are triggered before each polling attempt and before waiting. See the API documentation for more examples and for a list of supported waiters per service.

Resource Interfaces (aws-sdk-resources gem)

Resource interfaces are object oriented classes that represent actual resources in AWS. Resource interfaces built on top of API clients and provide additional functionality.

s3 = Aws::S3::Resource.new

# reference an existing bucket by name
bucket = s3.bucket('aws-sdk')

# enumerate every object in a bucket
bucket.objects.each do |obj|
  puts "#{obj.key} => #{obj.etag}"
end

# batch operations, delete objects in batches of 1k
bucket.objects(prefix: '/tmp-files/').delete

# single object operations
obj = bucket.object('hello')
obj.put(body:'Hello World!')
obj.etag
obj.delete

REPL - AWS Interactive Console

The aws-sdk-core gem ships with a REPL that provides a simple way to test the Ruby SDK. You can access the REPL by running aws.rb from the command line.

$ aws.rb
Aws> ec2.describe_instances.reservations.first.instances.first
[Aws::EC2::Client 200 0.216615 0 retries] describe_instances()
<struct
 instance_id="i-1234567",
 image_id="ami-7654321",
 state=<struct  code=16, name="running">,
 ...>

You can enable HTTP wire logging by setting the verbose flag:

$ aws.rb -v

In the REPL, every service class has a helper that returns a new client object. Simply downcase the service module name for the helper:

  • Aws::S3 => s3
  • Aws::EC2 => ec2
  • etc

Versioning

This project uses semantic versioning. You can safely express a dependency on a major version and expect all minor and patch versions to be backwards compatible.
