I am using AWS Java API for S3. The access key, secret key, bucket name, and region name are all provided to my application as environment variables.
I am not sure how to set the region name...I'm currently getting the AmazonS3Client
return new AmazonS3Client(new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey, secretKey))
Can someone please tell me how to set the region name?
You can do it by client.setRegion(region) something like:
AmazonS3Client client =
new AmazonS3Client(new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey, secretKey));
client.setRegion(region);
return client;
Alternatively, new AmazonS3Client(new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey, secretKey)) picks the Region information from the following, if you haven't provided (it tries searching from 1 to 3) :
1.) EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()
2.) SystemPropertiesCredentialsProvider()
3.) EC2 instance
But this method is deprecated now, you should use now:
AmazonS3 amazonS3 = AmazonS3ClientBuilder.standard()
.withRegion(Regions.US_EAST_1)
.build();
Take a look at the AWS code Catalog. There are many examples of doing this:
Hope this helps
