Using service client classes in the Amazon SDK for C++

The Amazon SDK for C++ includes client classes that provide interfaces to the Amazon services. Each client class supports a particular Amazon service. For example, the S3Client provides an interface to the Amazon S3 service.

The namespace for a client class follows the convention Aws::Service::ServiceClient. For example, the client class for Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) is Aws::IAM::IAMClient and the Amazon S3 client class is Aws::S3::S3Client.

All client classes for all Amazon services are thread-safe.

When instantiating a client class, Amazon credentials must be supplied. Credentials can be supplied from your code, the environment, or the shared Amazon config file and shared credentials file. For more information about credentials, see instructions for setting up the recommended IAM Identity Center authentication or use another credential provider that is available.
