cloud-helper 1.0.1

A convenient Helper library for various cloud services

Cloud Helper

The Cloud Helper is a basic wrapper over various cloud libraries for different cloud providers. Which is a single point to connect various cloud vendors and perform operations to the respective cloud services.

Installation

You can install the Cloud Helper from PyPI:

pip install cloud-helper

The Cloud Helper is supported on Python 3.6 and above.

How to use

One of the very reason to create the library is to have a single library which provides facilities of connecting to various cloud providers and perform various operations. Another reason is a way to run your application and decide whether the application should connect to local cloud environment running in a Docker container or to an original cloud service, with just a simple environment variable set prior to run your application.

This powerfull feature will allow you to decide to run your application in local docker environment or in a production environment without changing your code.

Example:

Install a local AWS environment.

Localstack is one of the great tool, which can be install by using the following command:

$ pip install localstack

NOTE - make sure you have Docker installed before running localstack command

spin-up your localstack environment using Docker

$ localstack start

Localstack exposes a proxy URL:

http://localhost:4566

Setup an environment variable using the above proxy url:

export AWS_LOCAL_PROXY=http://localhost:4566

Now you can use the code from this library without passing any endpoint proxy url:

from cloud_helper.aws_helper.connections import client

s3_client = client("s3")

from cloud_helper.aws_helper.connections import resource

s3_resource = resource("s3")

from cloud_helper.aws_helper.connections import Session

session = Session()

Author Notes

This library is under progress.

I, as an author, will add different features in near future.
