If the word you are making into a possessive ends in s because it is a plural, then you add an apostrophe after the s to make it possessive. In all other cases, including words which end in s for any reason other that because they are plurals, you add an apostrophe and the s.

You use s' when the word that follows begins with a vowel sound, regardless of whether it actually starts with a vowel or a consonant. You use 's when the word that follows begins with a consonant sound. For example, "s'ill" (an apple) and "John's book" (the book belonging to John).
