The majority of API functions have been implemented. Not all functions have been thoroughly tested, so exercise care when integrating this library into production code. Please send issues and patches.
The libraries can be used two ways. You can:
- specify configuration parameters in the process dictionary. Useful for simple tasks, or
- create a configuration object and pass that to each request as the final parameter. Useful for Cross AWS Account access
Below is the library roadmap update along with regular features and fixes.
-
3.0.X
Remove R16 supportdone- Support maps
-
3.X.X
- Fix dialyzer findings and make it mandatory for the library
- Only SigV4 signing and generalised in one module. Keep SigV2 in SBD section only
- No more
erlang:error()use and use of regular tuples as error API. Breaking change.
- ELB APIs
- ... list to be filled shortly
At the moment we support the following OTP releases:
- 19.3
- 20.3
- 21.3
- 22.3
It might still work on 17+ (primarily due to Erlang maps) but we do not guarantee that.
You need to clone the repository and download rebar/rebar3 (if it's not already available in your path).
git clone https://github.com/erlcloud/erlcloud.git
cd erlcloud
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/rebar3/rebar3
chmod a+x rebar3To compile and run erlcloud:
make
make runTo use erlcloud in your application, add it as a dependency in your
application's configuration file. erlcloud is also available as a Hex package, refer to the Hex mix usage docs or rebar3 usage docs for more help including dependencies using Hex syntax.
To use erlcloud in the shell, you can start it by calling:
application:ensure_all_started(erlcloud).When access to AWS resources is managed through third-party identity providers it is performed using temporary security credentials.
You can provide your AWS credentials in OS environment variables
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your AWS Access Key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Your AWS Secret Access Key>
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=<Your AWS Security Token>
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<Your region>If you did not provide your AWS credentials in the OS environment variables, then you need to provide configuration read from your profile:
{ok, Conf} = erlcloud_aws:profile().
erlcloud_s3:list_buckets(Conf).Or you can provide them via erlcloud application environment variables.
application:set_env(erlcloud, aws_access_key_id, "your key"),
application:set_env(erlcloud, aws_secret_access_key, "your secret key"),
application:set_env(erlcloud, aws_security_token, "your token"),
application:set_env(erlcloud, aws_region, "your region"),You can provide your AWS credentials in environmental variables.
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your AWS Access Key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Your AWS Secret Access Key>If you did not provide your AWS credentials in the environment variables, then you need to provide the per-process configuration:
erlcloud_ec2:configure(AccessKeyId, SecretAccessKey [, Hostname]).Hostname defaults to non-existing "ec2.amazonaws.com" intentionally to avoid
mix with US-East-1 Refer to
aws_config
for full description of all services configuration.
Configuration object usage:
EC2 = erlcloud_ec2:new(AccessKeyId, SecretAccessKey [, Hostname])
erlcloud_ec2:describe_images(EC2).The aws_config
record contains many valuable defaults, such as protocols and ports for AWS
services. You can always redefine them by making new #aws_config{} record and
changing particular fields, then passing the result to any erlcloud function.
But if you want to change something in runtime this might be tedious and/or not flexible enough.
An alternative approach is to set default fields within the app.config -> erlcloud -> aws_config section and rely on the config, used by all functions
by default.
Example of such app.config:
[
{erlcloud, [
{aws_config, [
{s3_scheme, "http://"},
{s3_host, "s3.example.com"}
]}
]}
].If you want to utilise AZ affinity for VPC endpoints you can configure those in application config via:
{erlcloud, [
{services_vpc_endpoints, [
{<<"sqs">>, [<<"myAZ1.sqs-dns.amazonaws.com">>, <<"myAZ2.sqs-dns.amazonaws.com">>]},
{<<"kinesis">>, {env, "KINESIS_VPC_ENDPOINTS"}}
]}
]}Two options are supported:
- explicit list of Route53 AZ endpoints
- OS environment variable (handy for ECS deployments). The value of the
variable should be of comma-separated string like
"myAZ1.sqs-dns.amazonaws.com,myAZ2.sqs-dns.amazonaws.com"
Upon config generation, erlcloud will check the AZ of the deployment and
match it to one of the pre-configured DNS records. First match is used and if
not match found default is used.
Then you can start making API calls, like:
erlcloud_ec2:describe_images().
% list buckets of Account stored in config in process dict
% of of the account you are running in.
erlcloud_s3:list_buckets().
erlcloud_s3:list_buckets(erlcloud_aws:default_cfg()).
% List buckets on 3d Account from Conf
erlcloud_s3:list_buckets(Conf).Creating an EC2 instance may look like this:
start_instance(Ami, KeyPair, UserData, Type, Zone) ->
Config = #aws_config{
access_key_id = application:get_env(aws_key),
secret_access_key = application:get_env(aws_secret)
},
InstanceSpec = #ec2_instance_spec{image_id = Ami,
key_name = KeyPair,
instance_type = Type,
availability_zone = Zone,
user_data = UserData},
erlcloud_ec2:run_instances(InstanceSpec, Config).For usage information, consult the source code and GitHub repo. For detailed API description refer to the AWS references at:
Indentation in contributions should follow indentation style of surrounding text. In general it follows default indentation rules of official erlang-mode as provided by OTP team.
- All interfaces should provide a method for working with non-default config.
- Public interfaces with paging logic should prefer
{ok, Results, Marker}style to the{{paged, Marker}, Results}found in some modules. In case of records output, tokens should be part of the record. - Passing next page
NextToken,NextMarkeris preferred withOptsrather than a fun parameter like found in many modules. - Public interfaces should normally expose proplists over records. All new modules are preferred to have both.
- Exposed records are to be used only for complex outputs. Examples to follow: ddb2, ecs.
- Library should not expose any long running or stateful processes - no gen_servers, no caches and etc.
erlcloud is available as a Hex package. A new version of the package can be published by maintainers using mix or rebar3. A hex-publish make target that uses rebar3 is provided for maintainers to use or reference when publishing a new version of the package.
Github Actions will eventually be used to automatically publish new versions.
