Creation Date: 2021-10-01
Last Update: 2022-01-16 v. 16
This book covers the Amazon SDK for Python 3: boto3.
Across 128 pages, DIN-A4 full size, PDF only, DRM-free, it explains, since the beginning, how to create a CLI (Command Line Interface) application that uses Amazon's boto3 Python SDK to interact with Amazon AWS and do operations like:
- Pass different credentials to boto3 as text (not just having on the default file locations)
- Create new Instances
- Start, Stop a Instance
- Stop all the running instances
- Start all the stopped instances
- List Instances
- Using tags
- Create, Add, Remove, EBS Volumes
- Create S3 Buckets, upload files, download files, list objects on a bucket
- Add CloudWatch Alerts
- Create tables in DynamoDB and perform Inserts
- Also includes how to deploy AWS group of instances from Ansible, and install Apache to one of the group through an Ansible Playbook
...
Full Source Code included.
It's completely hands on, and most of the book is code and explanations related, so you'll be able to code your own Automations for Amazon and save many hours or investigation and try and error.
It teaches you all the stuff you need to Automate Operations against Amazon AWS with Python 3.
The programs are tested to work with Ubuntu Linux, but they should work on any Linux distro, on Mac and Windows. (with the exception of chmod which is a specific command for Linux and Mac, and one Bash sample for Ansible which uses grep, another specific utility for Linux)
