Announcing V2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby

I am excited to announce today’s stable release of version 2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby. It is available now as the aws-sdk gem on RubyGems.

Features

Version 2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby, the aws-sdk gem, provides a number of powerful features for developers including:

• Support for 40+ services
• Resource interfaces for 7 services
• Client response stubs
• Waiters
• Response paging
• Improved parameter validation
• Flexible gem dependencies
• Structured response data
• Improved API reference documentation with examples
• Aws.memoize no longer needed
• Intelligent credential management
• Extensible via plugins and custom request handlers

Upgrading

Version 2 of the AWS SDK for Ruby uses a different namespace, making it possible to use version 1 and version 2 in the same application.

# Gemfile
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 2'
gem 'aws-sdk-v1'

# code
require 'aws-sdk-v1'
require 'aws-sdk'

ec2_v1 = AWS::EC2.new # v1
ec2_v2 = Aws::EC2::Resource.new # v2

This allows you to start using the version 2 SDK today without changing existing code.
