AWS CLI

Basic commands:

# Set Credentials
aws configure
> AWS Access Key ID: <access-key-id-from-s3-user>
> AWS Secret Access Key: <secret-access-key-from-s3-user>
> Default region name: eu-central-1
> Default output format: json

# Create a new Bucket
aws s3api create-bucket --bucket my-bucket --endpoint-url https://ds12s3.swisscom.com

See all aws s3api commands in the awscli Guide.

Configuration

Setting the default endpoint

This is an information message

Default Endpoint

Since the aws-cli always expects you to set the --endpoint-url parameter with every request, it can be defined in the config file .aws/config:

[default]
region = eu-central-1
output = json
endpoint_url = https://ds12s3.swisscom.com
request_checksum_calculation = when_required
response_checksum_validation = when_required

Mitigating Checksum errors

This is an information message

Checksum Errors

New versions of aws-cli validate the checksum of the request and response. This is not yet supported by Swisscom's S3 platform. Therefore, those two lines must be added to the config file (also visible in the example above):

request_checksum_calculation = when_required

response_checksum_validation = when_required
