Using Custom Retry Strategies with the SDK

This example highlights how you can define a custom retry strategy for the SDK to use. The example wraps the SDK's DefaultRetryer with a set of custom rules to not retry HTTP 5xx status codes. In all other cases the custom retry strategy falls back the SDK's DefaultRetryer's functionality.

Usage

This example will attempt to make an Amazon CloudWatch Logs PutLogEvents DescribeLogGroups API call. This example expects to retrieve credentials from the ~/.aws/credentials file.
