boto

boto is an integrated interface to current and future infrastructural services compatible with AWS.

Example Usage

Setup boto

Install boto, setup the environment, and so on.

As root,

python setup.py install

Using boto

Eucalyptus EC2 interface

region = RegionInfo(name="eucalyptus", endpoint="hostname")

connection = boto.connect_ec2(aws_access_key_id="access key",
                      aws_secret_access_key="secret",
                      is_secure=False,
                      region=region,
                      port=8773,
                      path="/services/Eucalyptus")

#Run commands

zones = connection.get_all_zones()

where, "hostname" is the name of the Eucalyptus front end.

For instance, if EC2_URL is set to http://192.168.9.1:8773/services/Eucalyptus,

hostname should be "192.168.9.1"

Eucalyptus S3 interface

calling_format=boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat()
connection = boto.s3.Connection(aws_access_key_id="access key",
                      aws_secret_access_key="secret",
                      is_secure=False,
                      host="hostname",
                      port=8773,
                      calling_format=calling_format,
                      path="/services/Walrus")

#Run commands

bucket_instance = connection.get_bucket(bucket)
keys = bucket.get_all_keys()
for k in keys:
    #do something

Interacting with Amazon EC2

Replace "hostname" in the above examples with "ec2.amazonaws.com" or "s3.amazonaws.com" and path with "/"
