boto3auth

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

Installation

Requires boto3.

pip install boto3auth

Usage

Required:

• resource: AWS resource (e.g. ec2, dynamodb, sqs, etc.)
• type: Boto3 Session type (resource or client) Optional:
• region: AWS region (e.g. us-east-1, ca-central-1, etc.)
• account_id: AWS account number (if assuming role)
• role: AWS IAM role (if assuming role)

boto3auth assumes you have local AWS credentials configured (or are using a system like aws-vault).

import boto3auth

# EC2 resource with local credentials
resource = boto3auth.auth('ec2')

# DynamoDB resource with assumed role
resource = boto3auth.auth('dynamodb', 'resource', 'us-east-1', '123412341234', 'my-cool-role')

# EC2 client in ca-central-1
client = boto3auth.auth('ec2', 'client', 'ca-central-1')
