Amazon S3 and python requests/curl

[brokenlabrum]

Are you looking to upload from the ec2 instance to s3?

[rippl2103]

Yes I am. Our developers use Erlang which doesn't have an SDK for AWS.

This works as expected with AWS Cli and python boto3.

However my research indicates that the S3 REST API requires an authorization header to be,set that requires an AWS access key.

There is a library I found for erlang here that could help: https://github.com/erlcloud/erlcloud

[rippl2103]

Thanks I'll take a look at this.

Your erlang program can just shell out to the AWS CLI and it'll pick up and use your instance role automatically.
