A Python package for operating cross region Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources.
This project is being sunsetted and is no longer supported.
Botocross is a Python package extending the excellent boto with functionality for operating cross region AWS resources - currently it is comprised of:
The functionality originated in the Amazon EC2 clock accuracy research project and has been extracted due to being of general use in various contexts.
The package is actively used in the Amazon EC2 clock accuracy research as well as a few other internal projects, but still in it's early stages and mainly demand driven - therefore the AWS API coverage is incomplete and likely also inconsistent here and there.
The scripts are based on Python 2.7 and have the following dependencies (handled automatically if installed via pip, see below):
Install via pip from PyPI:
NOTE: botocross is not yet published to PyPI, please use Install from GitHub or Install from source below).
$ pip install botocross
Install via pip from GitHub:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/sopel/botocross.git
Install from source:
$ git clone git://github.com/sopel/botocross.git
$ cd botocross
$ python setup.py install
The scripts provide common command line argument parsing and help functionality (invoke with no arguments, --help
or -h
).
AWS credentials are obviously required, which can provided via the command line as well, but are more easily served via environment variables or a configuration file for day to day usage, see section Getting Started with Boto for details.
validate-credentials
script provides a convenience method to both validate the AWS credentials and
display respective account/user information, which helps when juggling multiple AWS accounts.Licensed under the MIT License (MIT), see LICENSE for details.
