The AWS SDK for Ruby simplifies the use of AWS services by providing a set of libraries that are consistent and familiar for Ruby developers. All AWS SDKs support API lifecycle considerations such as credential management, retries, data marshaling, and serialization.

The SDK helps take the complexity out of coding by providing Ruby classes for AWS services including Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, DynamoDB, and more. The SDK is available as semantically-versioned, individual service gems through RubyGems.
