Answer 1

If you are using version 1.6.x of the SDK and explicitly providing credentials to the client object (instead of relying the SDK's config discovery mechanism), then you could try using the AWS_DISABLE_CONFIG_AUTO_DISCOVERY constant to circumvent all of the self-discovery code.

You must define the constant before you include the SDK.

define('AWS_DISABLE_CONFIG_AUTO_DISCOVERY', true);
require '/path/to/sdk.class.php';

This will remove the need of the hack as described on isnoop's blog and may also resolve the issue with the other three lines showing up in your log (though I'm not sure why the SDK would cause those lines to appear).
