While other packages currently connect R to S3, they do so incompletely (mapping only some of the API endpoints to R) and most implementations rely on the AWS command-line tools, which users may not have installed on their system. To use the package, you will need an AWS account and to enter your credentials into R. Your keypair can be generated on the IAM Management Console under the heading Access Keys . Note that you only have access to your secret key once. After it is generated, you need to save it in a secure location. New keypairs can be generated at any time if yours has been lost, stolen, or forgotten. The aws.iam package profiles tools for working with IAM, including creating roles, users, groups, and credentials programmatically; it is not needed to use IAM credentials. A detailed description of how credentials can be specified is provided at: https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.signature/. The easiest way is to simply set environment variables on the command line prior to starting R or via an Renviron.site or .Renviron file, which are used to set environment variables in R during startup (see ? Startup ). They can be also set within R: Remarks: To use the package with S3-compatible storage provided by other cloud platforms, set the AWS S3 ENDPOINT environment variable to the appropriate host name. By default, the package uses the AWS endpoint:","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/cloudyr","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/cloudyr/aws.s3/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
