Helper objects for common AWS services

AWS Helpers Library

This library contains helper methods of making it easier for developers to tap into the AWS SDK. Currently there's support for the following Services:

• EC2
• SQS
• S3
• CloudSearch

CLI Client

This project is nothing but an empty Console Application that can be used as a Client of the AWS Helpers Library. You can play around with it and write the code there, until you are confortable with including it into your own project.

Some Usage Examples

// Terminating EC2 Instance (or instances all at once)
awsEC2Helper = new AWSEC2Helper (RegionEndpoint.SAEast1, myAccessKey, mySecretKey);
awsEC2Helper.TerminateInstance (ids))

// Destroying SQS Queue - Static Method
AWSSQSHelper.DestroySQSQueue (queueName, RegionEndpoint.SAEast1, out ErrorMessage, myAccessKey, mySecretKey)

// Batch Enqueue of SQS Messages
var messages = List<String>();
AWSSQSHelper queueTestAWSSQS = new AWSSQSHelper (queueName, 10, RegionEndpoint.SAEast1, myAccessKey, mySecretKey);
queueTestAWSSQS.EnqueueMessages (messages);

App.Config

You can either store your credentials on the App.Config file, using the following attributes:

<appSettings>
 <!-- AWS Credentials -->
 <add key="AWSSecretKey"     value="YOUR KEYS HERE" />
 <add key="AWSAccessKey"     value="YOUR KEYS HERE" />
</appSettings

Or you can feed each helper using the credentials yourself.

Using the App.Config is recommended because the AWS SDK will automatically reach out to this credentials, without you having to do nothing but dump them there.
