Installation guide

The easiest way to get up and running quickly is to use the Aws\Ec2\Ec2Client::factory() method and

provide your credentials (key and secret).

A region parameter is also required and must be set to one of the following values: us-east-1,

ap-northeast-1, sa-east-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, us-west-2, us-gov-west-1,

us-west-1, cn-north-1, eu-west-1

use Aws\Ec2\Ec2Client;

$client = Ec2Client::factory(array(

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

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

'region' => '<region name>'

));

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 Elastic Compute Cloud 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;

// Create a service builder using a configuration file

$aws = Aws::factory('/path/to/my_config.json');

// Get the client from the builder by namespace

$client = $aws->get('Ec2');

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
