Developer Interface¶

Backends¶

Storage backends provided by the storages_ec2 app.

class storages_ec2.backends.AutoConnectS3Boto3Storage(*args, **kwargs)¶

S3 storage backend that automatically authenticates.

This storage class generates temporary credentials using EC2 metadata and then authenticates S3 reqeuests with those credentials.

This class is a wrapper around the S3Boto3Storage class from the django-storages app.

bucket¶

Get a connection to the instance’s bucket.

We can only cache the bucket for the time that the instance’s credentials are valid for, so a new connection will be generated if the instance’s credentials are about to expire.

connection¶: Get a connection to S3.

credentials¶: dict – Get temporary credentials used to authenticate a request to S3.

credentials_valid¶: bool – Determine if the instance’s credentials are valid.

instance_role¶: str – The name of the role being used by the current instance.
