Authorization#
Warning
AutoRefreshableSession was not tested for manually passing hard-coded
account credentials to the boto3.session.Session or boto3.client
objects! There are optional session_kwargs and client_kwargs
parameters available for passing hard-coded account credentials, which
should work; however, that cannot be guaranteed! In any case, the boto3
documentation generally recommends against passing hard-coded account credentials
as parameters; it is for that reason the documentation below, and everywhere
else, only mentions ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials for
authorization. Since the session_kwargs and client_kwargs parameters
were not tested, you will need to use those parameters at your own discretion.
In order to use this package, it is recommended that you follow one of the below methods for authorizing access to your AWS instance:
Create local environment variables containing your credentials, e.g.
ACCESS_KEY,SECRET_KEY, andSESSION_TOKEN.Create a shared credentials file, i.e.
~/.aws/credentials.Create an AWS config file, i.e.
~/.aws/config.
For additional details concerning how to authorize access, check the boto3 documentation.
