 ## Summary
+
 This package provides a `ConfigMapProvider` implementation for Amazon S3 (`s3provider`) that allows the Collector the ability to load configuration by fetching and reading config objects stored in Amazon S3.
+
 ## How it works
+
 - It will be called by `ConfigMapResolver` to load configuration for the Collector.
 - By giving a config URI starting with prefix `s3://`, this `s3provider` will be used to download config objects from the given S3 URIs, and then use the downloaded configuration during Collector initialization.
 
 Expected URI format:
+
 - s3://[BUCKET].s3.[REGION].amazonaws.com/[KEY]
 
 Prerequistes:
+
 - Need to setup access keys from IAM console (aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key) with permission to access Amazon S3
 - For details, can take a look at https://aws.github.io/aws-sdk-go-v2/docs/configuring-sdk/
