Thanks!

Thanks a lot buddy for this basic yet important lesson.

Python 3 picks up the IAM role and other stuff on its own, however I faced challenges with Python 2.

Great Information ! This is what I was looking for !! Thank you !

Awesome !! Exactly the info that was needed !

If I use aws configure to configure the details, do I still need to pass the region explicitly?

I am using Boto3 resource to send push notification to iOS devices.

It is working fine but issue is that I am not able to show badge count on the iOS App and also not able to pass any value for sound effect for new notifications.

My code below:

sns = boto3.resource(
        'sns',
        region_name='AWS_REGION_NAME',
        aws_access_key_id='AWS_ACCESS_KEY',
        aws_secret_access_key='AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'
      )

user_endpoint_arn = 'DEVICE_ENDPOINT_ARN'

platform_endpoint = sns.PlatformEndpoint(endpoint_arn)

platform_endpoint.publish(Message='notification message')

What should be added here to have sound effect for new notifications and also for badge count (count for unread notifications) on the installed APP icon?

Thanks, It helped me to set my 'ses' region to eu-west-1 since aws has no ses in ap-southeast

Thank u so much!

totally helped me out today! I looked at boto docs first and couldn't figure it out

Thanks dude! Was wondering why the AWS_REGION env variable wasn't being honored and couldn't use a boto config.

A related option, when in ec2, assuming you want to connect to whatever region the ec2 instance is running in (thus the region isn't hard coded):

import json
import boto3
import urllib2

durl = "http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document"
document = json.loads(urllib2.urlopen(durl).read())
client = boto3.client('cloudwatch', region_name=document['region'])

Thank you Russell. didn't know lambda could be executed in all regions by configuring regions. gonna help me reduce the time to spend on making lambda function in every region!!

How to pass aws_access_key_id,aws_secret_access_key,region in client I am working on elb please help

I had to search the whole internet to find such a simple answer that how can i pass the aws credential on boto3 resource. Saved my day man!!!

Hi, when I use:

>>> import boto3
>>> rds = boto3.setup_default_session(region_name='us-west-2')
>>> rds = boto3.client('rds')

It raises:

NoCredentialsError botocore.exceptions.NoCredentialsError:

Unable to locate credentials

What should I do?

Thank you so much. It helps me.

Thanks for this post. I did not know that Lambda function in US region can access resource in Asia region like this...

session = Session(aws_access_key_id='xxx', aws_secret_access_key='x+xx/xx')
ec2 = session.resource('ec2', region_name='ap-south-1')

Thank you :)

Thanks, this was great!

Thank you for sharing. Nicely presented. This Saved me.

Thanks Russell.

Very helpful!! :D

Hi all Cool and helpful article. Now I'm trying to dive a little deeper The task is how to use region_name as list of defined regions. For example, find all instances across AWS with specific tag.

Thanks, it helped.

Hi, I would like to pass region input as variable interactively. Like how python get it as raw_input() So, how do I do that in boto3

Hey Buddy, you made my 1 week work resolved. Thanks. AWS document keeps you busy reading, till you die or finish their document.

Thanks!

thanks!

Very nice thanks!! can anyone chime in how to do this on a one liner instead of 2 lines? boto3.setup_default_session(profile_name='account1') boto3.setup_default_session(region_name='eu-west-2')

hi...i am trying to access a lambda function which is in eu-west-1 using api gateway.the api gateway , i dont know how created in us-east-1...how should i solve this?I cannot able to create api in the same region as lambda fn

This is great, just what I was looking for, do you know of a way to find which specific instances of services/resources are using which using roles?

I'm trying to write a little program that will audit our role usage based on the instances of EC2 and other services using the roles.

Thanks!!!!
