The AWS SDK for C++ includes client classes that provide interfaces to the AWS services. Each
client class supports a particular AWS 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 AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is Aws::IAM::IAMClient and the Amazon
S3 client class is Aws::S3::S3Client.
All client classes for all AWS services are thread-safe.
When instantiating a client class, AWS credentials must be supplied. Credentials can be
supplied from your code, the environment, or the shared AWS 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.
