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.
