botocove 0.1.1

A decorator to run boto3 functions against an AWS organization

botocove

This is a simple decorator for functions to run them against all AWS accounts in an organization. Wrap a function in @cove and inject a session from every AWS account in your org!

Credential requirements are: In the calling account:

• IAM permissions sts:assumerole, sts:get-caller-identity and organizations:list-accounts
• From an account that is trusted by other account roles: primarily, an AWS organization master account. In the organization accounts:
• A trust relationship to the calling account
• Whatever IAM permisisons your wrapped function is using.

Quickstart

Wrapping a function that is usually passed a boto3 session can now be called with a session from every account required in your AWS organization, assuming a role in each account.

For example:

This function takes a boto3 session and gets the IAM users from an AWS account

def get_iam_users(session):
    iam = session.client("iam", region_name="eu-west-1")
    # https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/iam.html#IAM.Client.list_users
    all_users = iam.get_paginator("list_users").paginate().build_full_result()

    return all_users

def main():
    session = boto3.session.Session(profile_name="my_dev_account")
    users = get_iam_users(session)
    print(users) # A single account's IAM users

This decorated function is not called with a session from main() and instead has a session injected by the decorator for every account your credentials can assume a role in to. It returns a list of every account that can be accessed and their IAM users.

@cove
def get_iam_users(session):
    iam = session.client("iam", region_name="eu-west-1")
    # https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/iam.html#IAM.Client.list_users
    all_users = iam.get_paginator("list_users").paginate().build_full_result()

    return all_users

def main():
    session = boto3.session.Session(profile_name="my_org_master")
    all_users = get_iam_users()
    print(all_users) # A list of all responses from IAM's list_users API for every account in the AWS organization

botocove?

It turns out that the Amazon's Boto dolphins are soliditary or small-group animals, unlike the large pods of dolphins in the oceans. This killed my "large group of boto" idea, so the next best idea was where might they all shelter together... a cove!
