## Amazon S3
Stores file contents in a bucket in Amazon S3 or a similar service.
-
-Example of configuring such a remote:
-
- git config remote.mys3.annex-s3-bucket myannex
- export ANNEX_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID="08TJMT99S3511WOZEP91"
- export ANNEX_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="s3kr1t"
-
-That creates a remote named "mys3" using the bucket named "myannex",
-which will be created if it doesn't already exist.
-
-Here is the full set of configurable settings for Amazon S3.
-Each setting can be configured on a per-remote basis in git-config,
-or globally in an environment variable.
-
-* `remote.$name.annex-s3-access-key-id` `ANNEX_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID`
- Your S3 Access Key ID. Does not need to be kept private.
-* `remote.$name.annex-s3-secret-access-key` `ANNEX_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`
- Your S3 Secret Access Key. This is a password. Usually stored in the
- environment variable to avoid it being exposed.
-* `remote.$name.annex-s3-host` `ANNEX_S3_HOST`
- Host to connect to. Default is s3.amazonaws.com.
-* `remote.$name.annex-s3-port` `ANNEX_S3_PORT`
- Port to connect to. Default is 80.
-* `remote.$name.annex-s3-datacenter` `ANNEX_S3_DATACENTER`
- Name of the datacenter to use when creating a new bucket. Default is "US";
- other valid values include "EU", "us-west-1", and "ap-southeast-1".
-* `remote.$name.annex-s3-storageclass` `ANNEX_S3_STORAGECLASS`
- Name of storage class to use when adding new content to the bucket.
- Default is "STANDARD". If you have configured git-annex to preserve
- multiple [[copies]], consider setting this to "REDUCED_REDUNDANCY" to
- save money.
