Answer 1

This will work using the aws-sdk-s3 gem

aws_client = Aws::S3::Client.new(
  region:               'us-west-2', #or any other region
  access_key_id:        AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
  secret_access_key:    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
)


s3 = Aws::S3::Resource.new(client: aws_client)
bucket = s3.bucket('bucket-name')
obj = bucket.object("${filename}-#{SecureRandom.uuid}")

url = obj.presigned_url(:put)

additional http verbs:

obj.presigned_url(:put)                              
obj.presigned_url(:head)                    
obj.presigned_url(:delete)

Answer 2

So, thanks to the tips by @strognjz above, here is what worked for me using `aws-sdk-s3'.

require 'aws-sdk-s3'

#credentials below for the IAM user I am using
s3 = Aws::S3::Client.new(
  region:               'us-west-2', #or any other region
  access_key_id:        AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
  secret_access_key:    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
)

signer = Aws::S3::Presigner.new(client: s3)
url = signer.presigned_url(
  :put_object,
  bucket: S3_BUCKET_NAME,
  key: "${filename}-#{SecureRandom.uuid}"
)
