Python examples on AWS (Amazon Web Services)

This repo contains Python code examples on AWS (Amazon Web Services).

These examples show how to use Python 3 and Boto 3 in order to manage Amazon services on AWS. These use Resource API (high-level) and Client API (low-level) of Boto 3.

Boto 3 is the AWS (Amazon Web Services) SDK for Python, which allows Python developers to write software that makes use of Amazon services like EC2 and S3. Boto provides an easy to use, object-oriented API as well as low-level direct service access.

Boto 3 offers two different styles of API:

• Resource API (high-level): It provides an object-oriented abstraction on top (object.delete(), object.put(), etc.).
• Client API (low-level): It maps directly to the underlying RPC-style service operations (put_object, delete_object, etc.).

Quick start

You must have an AWS (Amazon Web Services) account.

The code for the samples is contained in individual folders on this repository.

For instructions on running the code, please consult the README in each folder.
