# zambi A single place to manage AWS boto connection objects for multiple accounts and services.

# Summary Zambi is used to manage multiple connection types leveraging the boto library. So that you can quickly create a new connection object for a new account or a service.

# Getting started To get started install zambi ` pip install zambi `

Create a conf directory and a credential directory and set these system variables. ` export AWS_CONF_DIR=/path/to/conf export AWS_CRED_DIR=/path/to/credntials `

Create account mapping file, $AWS_CONF_DIR/account_aliases_map.txt ` opsqa:opsqa:111111111111 `

Create credential files, $AWS_CRED_DIR/opsqa.ini ` [Credentials] aws_account_id=111111111111 aws_access_key_id=AXXXXXXXXXXX aws_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yyyyyyyxxxxxxxzzzzzz `

# Usage Initialize the Zambi within you. ` from zambi import ZambiConn cmgr = ZambiConn() `

To get all accounts from mapping file. ` accounts = cmgr.get_accounts() `

To get accounts that end in qa. ` accounts = cmgr.get_accounts('.*qa') `

To get just the opsqa account. ` account = cmgr.get_accounts('opsqa') `

Creaet an EC2 Connection to opsqa. ` conn = cmgr.get_connection(account) `

Example of other services like route53 ` conn = cmgr.get_connection(account, service='route53') `
