  <script src="https://sdk.amazonaws.com/js/aws-sdk-2.0.0-rc.17.min.js"></script>

Next, we will create our provider service, which will contain all of the methods required for us to interact with the AWS SDK.

Let's create our provider in our app/js/services.js file as follows:

.provider('AWSservice', [
