-This special remote type stores file contents in a bucket in Amazon S3
-or a similar service, such as
-[Archive.org's S3 API](http://www.archive.org/help/abouts3.txt).
-
-See [[walkthrough/using_Amazon_S3]] for usage examples.
-
-## configuration
-
-A number of parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure
-the S3 remote.
-
-* `encryption` - Required. Either "none" to disable encryption
- (not recommended),
- or a value that can be looked up (using gpg -k) to find a gpg encryption
- key that will be given access to the remote. Note that additional gpg
- keys can be given access to a remote by rerunning initremote with
- the new key id. See [[encryption]].
-
-* `datacenter` - Defaults to "US". Other values include "EU",
- "us-west-1", and "ap-southeast-1".
-
-* `storageclass` - Default is "STANDARD". If you have configured git-annex
- to preserve multiple [[copies]], consider setting this to "REDUCED_REDUNDANCY"
- to save money.
-
-* `host` and `port` - Specify in order to use a different, S3 compatable
- service.
-
-* `bucket` - S3 requires that buckets have a globally unique name,
- so by default, a bucket name is chosen based on the remote name
- and UUID. This can be specified to pick a bucket name.
-
-The standard environment variables `ANNEX_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and
-`ANNEX_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` can be used to supply login credentials
-for Amazon. When encryption is enabled, they are stored in encrypted form
-by `git annex initremote`, so you do not need to keep the environment
-variables set after the initial initalization of the remote.
