AWS Demo

A simple Demo app to connect to AWS S3 to upload and list files.

Requirements

In order to run this app you will first need:

• An Amazon AWS account. A Identity and Access Management (IAM) user with Amazon S3 permission (e.g. AmazonS3FullAccess)
• An S3 bucket already created.

Instructions

1. Ensure you create the following files for your AWS Credentials: ~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config.

3. You may also want to set a default region. This can be done in the configuration file. By default, its location is at ~/.aws/config:

   [default]
   region=us-east-1

4. Create Python Virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv

5. Activate Python Virtual environment

   source venv/bin/activate

6. Install application requirements:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
