This guide is not quite finished. If you are looking for a good way to contribute to the SDK and to the rest of the

AWS PHP community, then helping to write documentation is a great place to start. Our guides are written in

ReStructuredText and generated using Sphinx. Feel free to add some content to our documentation and send a

Amazon CloudFront

This guide focuses on the AWS SDK for PHP client for Amazon CloudFront. This guide assumes that you have

already downloaded and installed the AWS SDK for PHP. See Installation for more information on getting started.

Creating a client

First you need to create a client object using one of the following techniques.

Factory method

The easiest way to get up and running quickly is to use the

Aws\CloudFront\CloudFrontClient::factory() method and provide your credentials (key and secret).

use Aws\CloudFront\CloudFrontClient;

$client = CloudFrontClient::factory(array(

'key' => '<aws access key>',

'secret' => '<aws secret key>'

));

You can provide your access keys like in the preceding example, or you can choose to omit them if you are using

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles for EC2 instances or credentials sourced from the

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.

Service builder

A more robust way to connect to Amazon CloudFront is through the service builder. This allows you to specify

credentials and other configuration settings in a configuration file. These settings can then be shared across all

clients so that you only have to specify your settings once.

use Aws\Common\Aws;
