Amazon AWS and RightScale howto
These days got my first project regarding AWS. I never used before tools like s3sync and s3cmd. Basically these tools allow you to execute commands on the AWS server or to sync with your aws account.
First issue I got was the fact that I didn`t had enviroment variables setup:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_key_id
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key
Note : older versions of s3sync had : AWS_ACCESS_KEY ..so dont forget to add : _ID
You can create a script like :
#!/bin/bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_key_id
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_keys3cmd listbuckets
This will show all buckets you have on your S3 account.
