I think if you want to use an existing S3 bucket you can t use the cloud abstraction directly today You could use the get method on aws s3 Bucket to retrieve an existing bucket but you would unfortunately not get the nice `on ` style methods I think that some of the stuff < lemon spoon 91807> is working on will make it easy to take an existing S3 bucket and then add handlers to it similar to if how you created a `cloud Bucket` directly
