An object-oriented friendly & pythonic client for Amazon Web Services (AWS)

OOWS

Warning — this project is in early development. Contributions and feedbacks are welcome. Usage in production systems is discouraged

OOWS (oh-owls) is an object-oriented friendly client for Amazon Web Services — AWS. It is based on boto3 official client and aims to provide a cleaner and more Pythonic interface to handle AWS resources.

Currently, Boto3 already provides the Resource Model which is a nicer and more OO-friendly interface over raw JSON, as explained here. Although it works, it does not provide an interface for resources I currently need. This project started by a personal need of mine to ease the current state of programmatic access to ECS resources.

Rationale

Suppose you want to list all of a cluster's services' task definitions. Using pure boto3, you'd need to write something like:

session = boto3.Session()
ecs_client = session.client('ecs')
services = ecs_client.list_services(cluster="MyCluster")['serviceArns']
for service in services:
    s = ecs_client.describe_services(cluster="MyCluster", services=[service])
    print("The task definition is {}".format(s['services'][0]['taskDefinition']))

But using oows, you can rewrite this code to something like:

cluster = Cluster("MyCluster")

for service in cluster.services:
    print("The task definition is {}".format(service.task_definition))
