31. =
PROGRAMMABLE
PLATFORM

32. API | SDK | CLI

33. API | SDK | CLI

38. // Load the AWS PHP SDK
require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
$aws = AwsCommonAws::factory('/path/to/config.json');
// Instantiate the s3 client
$s3client = $aws->get('s3');

39. // List available S3 buckets
try {
$result = $s3client->listBuckets();
foreach ($result['Buckets'] as $bucket) {
echo "- {$bucket['Name']}n";
}
} catch (AwsS3ExceptionS3Exception $e) {
echo "Request failed.n";
}
echo "n";
// upload an object into S3
$s3client->putObject(array(
'Bucket' => $bucketName,
'Key'
=> $objectKey,
'Body'
=> fopen($file->getPathname(), 'r'),
'ACL'
=> CannedAcl::PUBLIC_READ,
));

40. // Instantiate the DynamoDB client
$ddb = $aws->get('dynamodb');
// Get today's flavors from DynamoDB
$date = new DateTime();
$result = $ddb->getItem(array(
'TableName' => 'flavors-of-the-day',
'Key' => array(
'HashKeyElement' => array('N' => $date->format('n')),
'RangeKeyElement' => array('N' => $date->format('j'))
)
));
$flavors = $result->getPath('Item/flavors/SS');

41. -
Temporary AWS credentials provisioned on EC2 instances
Automatically rotated for you multiple times per day.
Initialize the client and the AWS SDK will do the rest.
Increased security & convenience

43. “All files stored
online by Dropbox
are encrypted and
kept securely on
Amazon’s Simple
Storage Service
(S3) in multiple data
centers located
across the United
States.”

45. “Amazon DynamoDB initially served as a secondary data
store for user activity and interaction logs.
However, this new NoSQL database service was
integrated into the production environment as the primary
data store when Shazam realized it could support over
500,000 writes per second.”
