Is the Amazon .NET AWS SDK's AmazonS3 thread safe or should I be creating a new instance of AmazonS3 per request in a multi-threaded system?
Specifically for the latest .NET AWS SDK (version 1.3.14).

My answer is YES you need to dispose it manually and I recommend keeping an instance of the object alive and re-using it for several operations just remember to dispose it when you are eventually done.
The namespace for a client class follows the convention Aws::Service::ServiceClient . For example, the client class for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is Aws::IAM::IAMClient and the Amazon S3 client class is Aws::S3::S3Client . All client classes for all AWS services are thread-safe.
I also asked this question on the Amazon AWS forum and an official AWS employee replied (Norm@AWS) with:
The .NET SDK is thread safe so keeping an instance of any of the clients like AmazonS3 around and reusing them is fine.
