How can I design a script by using Boto3 to handle multiple AWS profiles?

93    Asked by Chandralekhadebbie in AWS , Asked on Jun 6, 2024

 I am currently engaged in a particular task that is related to developing a Python-based script that can interact with the AWS services by using the boto 3. I want to ensure that it should also handle the multiple AWS profiles. How can I approach to design my script to allow the users to specify which AWS profiles to use for their operations?


Import boto3

# Prompt the user to input the AWS profile name
Profile_name = input(“Enter the AWS profile name: “)
# Create a session with the specified profile
Session = boto3.Session(profile_name=profile_name)
# Now you can create clients or resources using this session
S3_client = session.client(‘s3’)
Ec2_resource = session.resource(‘ec2’)
# Example usage of the S3 client
Response = s3_client.list_buckets()
Print(response)

In this coding:-

We import the boto 3 library.

Now we prompt the users to input the AWS profile name that they want to use.

Now we can create a session by using the “boto3.session(profile name =profile name) where the users can provide their profile name.

With this session, now you can create a client or even resources for the AWS services like S3.

Finally, we demonstrate an extensive example of usage by just listing the S3 bucket using the created S3 client.

This approach would allow users to dynamically select the AWS profiles that they want or need within your Python script.

Here is also an example given of how you can handle multiple AWS profiles in a java based application by using the AWS SDK for Java:-

Import software.amazon.awssdk.auth.credentials.AwsCredentialsProvider;
Import software.amazon.awssdk.auth.credentials.ProfileCredentialsProvider;
Import software.amazon.awssdk.core.client.config.ClientOverrideConfiguration;
Import software.amazon.awssdk.core.client.config.SdkAdvancedClientOption;
Import software.amazon.awssdk.regions.Region;
Import software.amazon.awssdk.services.s3.S3Client;

Import java.util.Scanner;

Public class AwsProfileExample {
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a scanner object to read user input
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        // Prompt the user to input the AWS profile name
        System.out.print(“Enter the AWS profile name: “);
        String profileName = scanner.nextLine();
        // Close the scanner
        Scanner.close();
        // Create credentials provider for the specified profile
        AwsCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = ProfileCredentialsProvider.builder()
                .profileName(profileName)
                .build();
        // Create S3 client with the specified region and credentials provider
        S3Client s3Client = S3Client.builder()
                .region(Region.US_EAST_1) // Specify your desired region
                .credentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)
                .overrideConfiguration(ClientOverrideConfiguration.builder()
                        .putAdvancedOption(SdkAdvancedClientOption.SIGNER_OVERRIDE, “AWSS3V4SignerType”)
                        .build())
                .build();
        // Example usage: List S3 buckets
        S3Client.listBuckets().buckets().forEach(bucket -> System.out.println(“Bucket: “ + bucket.name()));
    }
}

Thus, this above Java-based program will allow the users to dynamically select the AWS profiles that they want to use within your Java application:-
