AWS: Node Setup

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series AWS & Node

Using Node we can setup connections to AWS. As time goes on I will keep this section updated.

First we need to install the aws-sdk and save in our dependencies. This will make it show up in our package.json file.

npm install aws-sdk --save

Next we need to require the aws-sdk.

var AWS = require('aws-sdk')

Next we update the config to utilise our keys.

AWS.config.update({accessKeyId: ##ACCESS_ID##, secretAccessKey: ##SECRET_KEY##});
