Question

I want to enable cloudtrail logs for my account and so need to create an s3 bucket.I wanted to automate this task using Boto3.Currently I am using the following script

Answer 1

To create an S3 Bucket using Python on AWS, you need to have "aws_access_key_id_value" and "aws_secret_access_key_value". You can store such variables in config.properties and write your code in create-s3-blucket.py file

Create a config.properties and save the following code in it.

aws_access_key_id_value='YOUR-ACCESS-KEY-OF-THE-AWS-ACCOUNT'
aws_secret_access_key_value='TOUR-SECRETE-KEY-OF-THE-AWS-ACCOUNT'
Bucket_value='S3-BUCKET-NAME'
LocationConstraint_value='REGION-FOR-S3-BUCKET'

Create create-s3-blucket.py and save the following code in it.

import boto3

def getVarFromFile(filename):
    import imp
    f = open(filename)
    global data
    data = imp.load_source('data', '', f)
    f.close()

getVarFromFile('config.properties')

client = boto3.client(
    's3',
    aws_access_key_id=data.aws_access_key_id_value,
    aws_secret_access_key=data.aws_secret_access_key_value
)
client.create_bucket(Bucket=data.Bucket_value, CreateBucketConfiguration={'LocationConstraint': data.LocationConstraint_value})

Use the following command to execute the python code.

python create-s3-blucket.py

In the same way, you can add different parameters and customise this code. Refer AWS's official documentation for more understanding.
