47 | 47 | for how ``boto3`` works. Once you have configured your environment such |
|
48 | 48 | that ``boto3`` can find credentials, interaction with AWS should *just work*. |
|
49 | 49 | |
|
50 | .. hint:: | |
|
50 | To configure ``boto3``, you can use the ``aws configure`` command to | |
|
51 | write out configuration files. (The ``aws`` command is typically provided | |
|
52 | by an ``awscli`` package available in your package manager, including | |
|
53 | ``pip``.) Alternatively, you can write out files in ``~/.aws/`` directly. | |
|
54 | e.g.:: | |
|
55 | ||
|
56 | # ~/.aws/config | |
|
57 | [default] | |
|
58 | region = us-west-2 | |
|
51 | 59 |
|
|
52 | Typically you have a ``~/.aws/credentials`` file containing AWS | |
|
53 | credentials. If you manage multiple credentials, you can override which | |
|
54 | *profile* to use at run-time by setting the ``AWS_PROFILE`` environment | |
|
55 | variable. | |
|
60 | # ~/.aws/credentials | |
|
61 | [default] | |
|
62 | aws_access_key_id = XXXX | |
|
63 | aws_secret_access_key = YYYY | |
|
64 | ||
|
65 | If you have multiple AWS accounts, you can name the profile something | |
|
66 | different from ``default``. e.g. ``hg``. You can influence which profile | |
|
67 | is used by ``boto3`` by setting the ``AWS_PROFILE`` environment variable. | |
|
68 | e.g. ``AWS_PROFILE=hg``. | |
