AWS | Boto3

Boto3 is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software Development Kit (SDK) for Python, which allows Python developers to write software that makes use of services like Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2. Boto3 makes it easy to integrate your Python application, library, or script with AWS services.

Using Boto3, you can do things like:

• Create and manage Amazon EC2 instances
• Upload and download files to and from Amazon S3
• Read and write data to and from Amazon DynamoDB
• Send and receive messages with Amazon SQS
• Monitor resources with Amazon CloudWatch
• Call any of the AWS APIs using the low-level client or the higher-level resource APIs

Boto3 is built on top of a low-level service client, which provides a direct interface to the underlying service APIs. It also provides higher-level resource APIs, which provide a more convenient interface for interacting with the service.

Boto3 is included as a dependency when you install the AWS SDK for Python, so you don’t have to install it separately. You can use pip, the Python package manager, to install the AWS SDK for Python:

pip install boto3
