The aws.s3.bucket name should be changed to something unique and
related to your application. For instance, the demo application uses
the value com.heroku.devcenter-java-play-s3 which would have to be
changed to something else if you want to run the demo yourself.
I am trying to use S3 with Heroku. I'm also using Play2 Framework with Scala. I used the plugin displayed in here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/using-amazon-s3-for-file-uploads-with-java-and-play-2#s3-plugin-for-play-2
One thing on my config file is I need to set up these three parameters:
aws.access.key=${?AWS_ACCESS_KEY}
aws.secret.key=${?AWS_SECRET_KEY}
aws.s3.bucket=com.something.unique
I found the access and secret key on AWS console, but wht is this s3.bucket? I did have assigned a name to my S3 bucket, but the format here looks like a website or a java package hierarchy. What should I put there??
An S3 bucket is a storage container within the AWS S3 service. You need to create the bucket with their web console or API before you can store data in S3. All data lives within a bucket.
Once you have created your bucket, you need to configure your S3 client to use that bucket name where you want to store the data.
S3 bucket names are a global name space across S3. They often use a dotted demarcation like a Java package or domain name, but it's an arbitrary convention some folks use.
You can use the same bucket in multiple environments if you are comfortable with leaking data between staging and production. I recommend using separate S3 buckets for each environments.

Is it possible to store binary files (e.g. images) using SurrealDB?
I can't find anything about this in docs.
If not, where can I store images since all the other data is stored in SurrealDB.
SurrealDB wasn't created as a file store. For this purpose, you can use for example object storage. Nearly every cloud service provide object storage.
If you want an open-source solution that can host on your own, you can check MinIO object storage - github repo.
I am using Golang SDK to communicate with AWS S3. I want to download only those files from a folder, that ends with .txt or .lib.
AWS SDK does not have this possibility.
You can list objects in a bucket, filter the output based on your needs and get a single object using getObject.
see here GetObject and here ListObjects
Another option can be to mount AWS S3 bucket on your machine/server using e.g. s3fs-fuse and filter the files you need in order to get the list to download.
I have been trying to find a solution for this but I need to ask you all. Do you know if there is a windows desktop application out there which would put (real time sync) objects from a local folder into predefined AWS S3 bucket? This could work just one way - upload from local to s3.
Setting it up
Insall AWS cli https://aws.amazon.com/cli/ for windows.
Through AWS website/console. Create an IAM user with a strict policy that allows access only to the required S3 bucket.
Run aws configure in powershell or cmd and set up the region, access key and secrect key for the IAM user that you created.
Test if your set up is correct by running aws s3 ls in the command line and verify you see a list of your account S3 buckets.
If not, then you probably configured IAM permissions incorrectly, you might need ListBuckets on all of S3 too.
How to sync examples
aws s3 sync path/to/yourfolder s3://mybucket/
aws s3 sync path/to/yourfolder s3://mybucket/images/
aws s3 sync path/to/yourfolder s3://mybucket/images/ --delete deletes files on S3 that are no longer available on your local path.
Not sure what this has to do with electron but you could set up a trigger on your application to invoke these commands. For example, in atom.io or VS code, you could bind this to saving a document on "ctrl+s".
If you are programming an application using Electron then you should consider using AWS JavaScript SDK instead of the AWS CLI but that is a whole different story.
And lastly, back up your files somewhere else before trying to use possibly destructive commands such as sync until you get a feeling of how they work.
I'm new to Amazon webservice. I created a instance in AWS EC2 to publish my website.Now I have an requirement.
I have resources where each resource must be able to choose the images(as profile picture)during runtime. I want to fetch the images from amazon storage and map in the already developed mvc.net application. I had this idea of storing the images in amazonS3(via budget) but I need to know how to fetch them during run time which enables resources to choose their profile picture from the uploaded images in bucket.
Please letme know if there is anyother way to store and fetch profile pictures using amazon to my mvcdotnet application?
Store the Original Image file in S3 Standard option.Store the reproducible images like thumbs etc in the S3 Reduced Redundancy option (RRS) to save costs. Store the Meta data about images including the S3 URL mapping in Amazon RDS and query them whenever needed from EC2.
I am currently creating a bunch of tables on the MySQL service in Amazon RDS. Several of the tables need to have image links in them. What I am trying to figure out, is where do I put the images? Do they go in RDS somewhere? or do i put them in S3 and link them to RDS? If the latter, how do I do that?
I have googled the heck out of this, with no conclusion so any assistance would be great.
Depending on the image sizes, use cases, etc, I would probably store the images in S3.
You can store the S3 path as a database field. You can create a bucket as a domain name (ie, images.example.com), and point the CNAME to the bucket to get direct access to the images. You can also use the various S3 libraries to generate a time limited signed URL if you want to include security.
You can either store them just as binary-data in a column in RDS or you can use S3. If you use S3 you store the http-url to the image in RDS and then get the image over http from S3.
