boto3auth 1.2.0

Simple wrapper for starting Boto3 clients/resources.

boto3auth

boto3auth is a simple (Python 3) wrapper for starting clients/resources with Boto3.

Installation

Requires boto3.

pip install boto3auth

Usage

import boto3auth

b3a = boto3auth.Boto3Auth(region, account_id, role, sts)

Properties:

• region: AWS region (e.g. us-east-1, ca-central-1, etc.)
  • Defaults to us-east-1, if not set.
• account_id: AWS account number (if assuming role)
• role: AWS IAM role (if assuming role)
• sts: Boto3 STS credentials (if assuming a secondary role)

Auth

b3a.auth(resource, type)

Arguments:

• resource: AWS resource (e.g. ec2, dynamodb, sqs, etc.)
• type: Boto3 Session type (resource or client)

boto3auth will use local AWS credentials (works well with aws-vault).

import boto3auth

# EC2 resource in us-east-1, with local credentials.
b3a = boto3auth.Boto3Auth()
resource = b3a.auth('ec2')

# DynamoDB resource in us-west-2, with assumed role.
b3a = boto3auth.Boto3Auth('us-west-2', '123412341234', 'my-cool-role')
resource = b3a.auth('dynamodb', 'resource')

# EC2 client in ca-central-1 that requires two assumed roles.
# e.g. Local -> Account #1 -> Account #2
first = boto3auth.Boto3Auth('ca-central-1', '123412341234', 'first-role')
first.creds() # creds() runs sts.AssumeRole and sets result to self.sts.

second = boto3auth.Boto3Auth('ca-central-1', '456745674567', 'second-role', first.sts)
client = second.auth('ec2', 'client')
