  # = Errors
  #
  # There are two basic types of errors:
  #
  # * {ClientError}
  # * {ServerError}
  #
  # == Client Errors
  #
  # Errors in the three and four hundreds are client errors ({ClientError}).
  # A client error should not be resent without changes.  The body of the
  # http response (the error #message) should give more information about
  # the nature of the problem.
  #
  # == Server Errors
  #
  # A 500 level error typically indicates the service is having an issue.
  #
  # Requests that generate service errors are automatically retried with
  # an exponential backoff.  If the service still fails to respond with 
  # a 200 after 3 retries the error is raised.
  #

Missing Credentials.

Unable to find AWS credentials.  You can configure your AWS credentials
a few different ways:

* Call AWS.config with :access_key_id and :secret_access_key

* Export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY to ENV

* On EC2 you can run instances with an IAM instance profile and credentials 
  will be auto loaded from the instance metadata service on those
  instances.

* Call AWS.config with :credential_provider.  A credential provider should
  either include AWS::Core::CredentialProviders::Provider or respond to
  the same public methods.

= Ruby on Rails

In a Ruby on Rails application you may also specify your credentials in 
the following ways:

* Via a config initializer script using any of the methods mentioned above
  (e.g. RAILS_ROOT/config/initializers/aws-sdk.rb).

* Via a yaml configuration file located at RAILS_ROOT/config/aws.yml.
  This file should be formated like the default RAILS_ROOT/config/database.yml
  file.
