Upload In-Line Text Content to Amazon S3

The Write-S3Object cmdlet supports the ability to upload in-line text content to Amazon S3. Using the -Content parameter (alias -Text), you can specify text-based content that should be uploaded to Amazon S3 without needing to place it into a file first. The parameter accepts simple one-line strings as well as here strings that contain multiple lines.
