 * Hello [@joseph063](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joseph063/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
 * The most likely problem is that some other plugin may be using the same aws-sdk
   library. Can you please check this or disable the plugins one by one and see 
   if any of them may be causing the conflict?
 * Also have you already created a bucket and the distribution in the AWS console?
 * Thanks!
