| Boto is a Python package that provides interfaces to Amazon Web Services. |
| At the moment, boto supports: |
| |
| * Simple Storage Service (S3) |
| * SimpleQueue Service (SQS) |
| * Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) |
| * Mechanical Turk |
| * SimpleDB |
| * CloudFront |
| * CloudWatch |
| * AutoScale |
| * Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) |
| * Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) |
| * Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) |
| * Relational Data Service (RDS) |
| * Simple Notification Server (SNS) |
| * Google Storage |
| * Identity and Access Management (IAM) |
| * Route53 DNS Service (route53) |
| * Simple Email Service (SES) |
| |
| The intent is to support additional services in the future. |
| |
| The goal of boto is to provide a very simple, easy to use, lightweight |
| wrapper around the Amazon services. Not all features supported by the |
| Amazon Web Services will be supported in boto. Basically, those |
| features I need to do what I want to do are supported first. Other |
| features and requests are welcome and will be accomodated to the best |
| of my ability. Patches and contributions are welcome! |
| |
| Boto was written using Python 2.6.5 on Mac OSX. It has also been tested |
| on Linux Ubuntu using Python 2.6.5. Boto requires no additional |
| libraries or packages other than those that are distributed with Python 2.6.5. |
| Efforts are made to keep boto compatible with Python 2.4.x but no |
| guarantees are made. |

| Your credentials can be passed into the methods that create |
| connections. Alternatively, boto will check for the existance of the |
| following environment variables to ascertain your credentials: |
| |
| AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Your AWS Access Key ID |
| AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Your AWS Secret Access Key |
| |
| Credentials and other boto-related settings can also be stored in a boto config |
| file. See: |

| |
| for details. |
