We’re running our builds with OSX machine. Sometimes on deploy stage we’re getting errors like this:

> An error occurred (RequestTimeTooSkewed) when calling the PutObject operation: The difference between the request time and the current time is too large.

Workaround:  
Add “sudo ntpdate -u [time.apple.com](http://time.apple.com)” build step before deploy.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and posting the workaround. I’ll file an internal bug report to get this addressed.
