This document provides a summary of programming Amazon Web Services (AWS) using Java and the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE). It discusses AWS libraries and tools for Java, including the AWS SDK for Java and AWS toolkit for Eclipse. It also provides code examples for performing common operations with AWS services like Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), such as creating and accessing buckets and objects in S3 and launching, terminating, and managing instances in EC2.

Basic S3 Concepts
Buckets
HTTP PUT

12. 12
S3 Buckets
DNS-compatible bucket names
Bucket names must be unique in the S3 universe
Bucket names should not contain underscores (_)
Bucket names should be between 3 and 63 characters long
Bucket names should not end with a dash
Bucket names cannot contain two, adjacent periods
Bucket names cannot contain dashes next to periods (e.g., "my-
.bucket.com" and "my.-bucket" are invalid)

object.getObjectMetadata().getContentType());
displayTextInputStream(object.getObjectContent());

Note: Access Control Lists
“Note: Bucket and object ACLs are completely
independent; an object does not inherit the ACL from its
bucket. For example, if you create a bucket and grant write
access to another user, you will not be able to access the
user's objects unless the user explicitly grants access. This
also applies if you grant anonymous write access to a
bucket. Only the user "anonymous" will be able to access
objects the user created unless permission is explicitly
granted to the bucket owner.
Important: We highly recommend that you do not grant the
anonymous group write access to your buckets as you will
have no control over the objects others can store and their
associated charges.”

EC2 Flow

25. 25
Amazon Machine Images (AMIs)
Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are virtual machine
images with a root device which is stored either in
Amazon S3, or
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)
Pre-configured public AMIs are provided by the AWS
community

Regions
“Amazon EC2 provides multiple Regions so you can
launch Amazon EC2 instances in locations that meet your
requirements. Each Amazon EC2 Region is designed to be
completely isolated from the other Amazon EC2 Regions.
This achieves the greatest possible failure independence
and stability, and it makes the locality of each EC2
resource unambiguous.”

28. 28
Availability Zones
“[F]ailures can occur that affect the availability of instances
that are in the same location. Although this is rare, if you
host all your Amazon EC2 instances in a single location
that is affected by such a failure, your instances will be
unavailable.
For example, if you have instances distributed across three
Availability Zones and one of the instances fails, you can
design your application so the instances in the remaining
Availability Zones handle any requests.”

29. 29
Run EC2 Instances (1)
ec2 = new AmazonEC2Client(credentials);
RunInstancesRequest req = new
RunInstancesRequest();
req.setImageId("ami-480df921");
req.setInstanceType("t1.micro");
req.setMinCount(1);
req.setMaxCount(1);
RunInstancesResult res =
ec2.runInstances(req);
System.out.println(res.toString());

Run EC2 Instances (2)
HTTP POST Request

ec2.setEndpoint("https://eu-west-

Don’t forget to terminate…
TerminateInstancesRequest req = new
TerminateInstancesRequest().withInstanceIds(id);
