Usage

Create a Amazon S3 account.
Retrieve your ACCESS_KEY_ID and your SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
Create a bucket.
Download the chef_handler Cookbook.
Given you've retrieved your S3 ACCESS_KEY_ID as :access_key_id, your SECRET_ACCESS_KEY as :secret_access_key and the bucket name as :bucket_name, add a Recipe similar to the example below:

include_recipe "chef_handler::default"

%w{libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev}.each do |pkg|
  package pkg do
    action :nothing
  end.run_action(:install)
end

chef_gem 'aws-sdk'
chef_gem "chef-handler-s3"
gem "chef-handler-s3"

chef_handler 'Chef::Handler::S3' do
  source 'chef/handler/s3'
  arguments :access_key_id     => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX',
            :secret_access_key => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX',
            :bucket_name       => 'some_bucket_name',
            :folder            => 'some_bucket_folder_name'
  action :enable
end

The argument :folder is optional. This will store the file inside of a folder with that name at the pointed bucket.
