Our analysis
AI-assistedThe Amazon Web Services plugin allows users to define AWS access keys and enables other plugins to utilise the included AWS SDK. Initially designed to serve as a dependency for other plugins, it has since been deemed unnecessary for the author's own plugins but remains available for others who may find it useful.
This plugin may suit developers or site owners who need to integrate AWS services with their WordPress setup, particularly if other plugins rely on the AWS SDK.
Best for: Developers or site owners looking to integrate AWS services with WordPress.
What it does well
- ✓Allows definition of AWS access keys
- ✓Includes AWS SDK for use by other plugins
- ✓Free to download from the WordPress.org directory
Where it falls short
- •No longer needed for the author's own plugins
- •Limited information on current usage or support
Verdict
This plugin may be useful for specific integrations, but its diminishing relevance for the author's plugins raises questions about its ongoing support and utility.
From the developer
WP Engine's own description of Amazon Web Services, lightly tidied.
This plugin allows the user to define AWS access keys and allows other plugins to hook into it and use the AWS SDK that’s included.
The plan was for this plugin to be a dependency of several plugins and all could use the same AWS SDK. We realized however that there are problems with this idea and we’ve taken another approach.
This plugin was used by our plugins (WP Offload S3 and WP Offload S3 Lite) but it is almost certainly used by other plugins we’re not aware of. So although it is no longer needed for our plugins, we’ll leave it here for others.
Requirements
- PHP version 5.3.3 or greater
- PHP cURL library 7.16.2 or greater
- cURL compiled with OpenSSL and zlib
- curl_multi_exec enabled
