# `Swoosh.Adapters.ExAwsAmazonSES`
[🔗](https://github.com/swoosh/swoosh/blob/v1.25.1/lib/swoosh/adapters/ex_aws_amazon_ses.ex#L1)

An adapter that wraps `Swoosh.Adapters.AmazonSES` to use credentials from `ExAws`.

You may prefer this adapter to `Swoosh.Adapters.AmazonSES` if you have already
configured ExAws for your project and are using instance role credentials.

This allows you to use automatically managed, short-lived credentials, rather than provisioning
a static access key / secret key pair.

> ### Dependencies {: .info}
>
> In addition to the `:gen_smtp` dependency that the `AmazonSES` adapter
> requires, this adapter also depends on `:ex_aws`.
>
> Ensure you have the dependencies added in your mix.exs file:
>
>     def deps do
>       [
>         {:swoosh, "~> 1.0"},
>         {:gen_smtp, "~> 1.0"},
>         {:ex_aws, "~> 2.1"},
>         # Dependency of `:ex_aws`
>         {:sweet_xml, "~> 0.6"}
>       ]
>     end

## Example
