boto3 wrappers for deploying to AWS using native python. "tributary of AWS"...

Madeira

This is a python package which provides wrapper classes and convenience methods for the Amazon Web Servces (AWS) python deployment SDK (boto3).

In several deployment automation projects I've built over the years, I've found that "bare metal control" over interaction with AWS services allows me to leverage features released by AWS into boto3 the moment they're available, rather than waiting on 3rd party CM tool authors/vendors to wrap all required functionality. Concurrently, this reduces the footprint of project external dependencies.

Given that most projects I work on are "pure python", this approach requires less mental context switching compared to using template-driven CM tools.

Installation

This package is hosted on PyPI, so you may simply:

pip install --user madeira

Support

Intended for use with Python 3.7 or later.

Limitations

Not all AWS services are represented; similarly, not all features of AWS services that are represented here are "wrapped".

Package name origins

Since the AWS python SDK is called boto, which refers to Amazon River dolphins, I figured I'd attempt to follow the pattern and name this after a tributary of the Amazon River, given that the point of these wrappers is to deploy objects into AWS, The analogy seemed to solve the problem of developer naming creativity... :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
