A single place to manage AWS boto connection objects for multiple accounts and services.

Zambi is used to manage multiple connection types leveraging the boto library. So that you can quickly create a new connection object for a new account or a service.

To get started install zambi

pip install zambi

Create a conf directory and a credential directory and set these system variables.

export AWS_CONF_DIR=/path/to/conf
export AWS_CRED_DIR=/path/to/credntials

Create account mapping file, $AWS_CONF_DIR/account_aliases_map.txt

opsqa:opsqa:111111111111

Create credential files, $AWS_CRED_DIR/opsqa.ini

[Credentials]
aws_account_id=111111111111
aws_access_key_id=AXXXXXXXXXXX
aws_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yyyyyyyxxxxxxxzzzzzz

Initialize the Zambi within you.

from zambi import ZambiConn
cmgr = ZambiConn()

To get all accounts from mapping file.

accounts = cmgr.get_accounts()

To get accounts that end in qa.

accounts = cmgr.get_accounts('.*qa')

To get just the opsqa account.

account = cmgr.get_accounts('opsqa')

Creaet an EC2 Connection to opsqa.

conn = cmgr.get_connection(account)

Example of other services like route53

conn = cmgr.get_connection(account, service='route53')
