Is the Amazon .NET AWS SDK's AmazonS3 thread safe?

Question

Is the Amazon .NET AWS SDK\'s AmazonS3 thread safe or should I be creating a new instance of AmazonS3 per request in a multi-threaded system?

Answer 1

I also asked this question on the Amazon AWS forum and an official AWS employee replied (Norm@AWS) with:

The .NET SDK is thread safe so keeping an instance of any of the clients like AmazonS3 around and reusing them is fine.

Answer 2

I create a new instance every thread and it works fine. I think it's safe per-call to be honest, including asynchronous calls.
