You need to install/use the -v1 version of aws-sdk. Simply doing gem 'aws-sdk' or require 'aws-sdk' may use the 2.x version of aws-sdk instead.

To avoid any confusion, for scripts that require 1.x, use:

require 'aws-sdk-v1' # not 'aws-sdk'

And for scripts that require 2.x, use:

gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 2'

as the GitHub documentation indicates.
