Can I create new S3 users and add IAM policies from the Linux command line?

Question

Is there any good way of creating and managing S3 policies and users from the command line of my Raspberry Pi?

Answer 1

The AWS Universal Command Line Tools are newer and better supported. They rely on Python, so if you can get Python for Raspberry Pi, you should be set.

Answer 2

I have no experience of using it myself, but I found a tool for interacting with Amazon IAM, the access control service for AWS, in a manner that might work for you:

IAM Command Line Toolkit (note: last updated September 2010)

There may be more usable stuff under the IAM Resources section.

If you are unfamiliar with IAM, the documentation is one place to start. Although, knowing the general style of AWS documentation, there may be better resources and tutorials to be found elsewhere.
