boto3 is the official AWS SDK for Python, and provides an interface to different AWS services via Python objects.
Configuration
The easiest and most common way to configure boto3 is to use environment variables in the shell. It is required to have at least $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY; but several other variables may be required depending on the operation to be done.
Other possible way is to use AWS configurations via the CLI: running aws configure will prompt the user the necessary data to create a ~/.aws/config file to store all credentials.
