Workshop 15: Python boto3 API

boto3 is an API used in python to connect to AWS.
In this workshop let us see how boto3 can be used to create a new s3 bucket.

Login to your EC2 instance. Become root.
Install boto3 using the following command.
# pip install boto3

In python we can then use boto3 to create S3 bucket.

>>> import boto3
>>> dir(boto3)
>>> dir(boto3.session)
>>> s = boto3.session
>>> session_instance = s.Sesssion
>>> s.Session.region_name = "ap-south-1"
>>> s.Session.resource    = "s3"
>>> s3 = boto3.client("s3")
>>> s3.create_bucket("Bucket='myuniquebucket'")

In the above example, we created a bucket called myuniquebucket.
