Setting a nonstandard endpoint

The region is used to construct an SSL endpoint to use for Amazon requests. If you need to use a nonstandard endpoint in the Region you’ve selected, add an endpoint entry to Aws.config. Alternatively, set the endpoint: when creating a service client or resource object. The following example creates an Amazon S3 resource object in the other_endpoint endpoint.

s3 = Aws::S3::Resource.new(endpoint: other_endpoint)

To use an endpoint of your choosing for API requests and to have that choice persist, see the Service-specific endpoints configuration option in the Amazon SDKs and Tools Reference Guide.
