AWS Integration

[AyrtonB]

Thanks for making such a great resource!

From the ReadMe it seems as though this version currently only has bindings for Azure blobs, is AWS likely to be included in a future release?

Hi @AyrtonB, thanks for getting in touch, and glad this library has proved useful!

You're quite right that there's only Azure support in the library at the moment - because that's all we've needed in the Informatics Lab. But adding AWS Support should be reasonably simple - it should only be a case of completing paths.AWSArrayPath, working out what context TileDB needs to connect with an array in S3 (https://docs.tiledb.com/main/solutions/tiledb-embedded/backends/s3), and making sure the plumbing is there for the Readers and Writers.

How would you feel about having a crack at putting that together? If you're signed up to Hacktoberfest and you waited a few days you could even get one of your four Hacktoberfest PRs out of it 👍

Let me know what you think!

Hi @DPeterK,

Thanks for the quick reply. Brill sounds good, will have a crack at it.
