AWS SDK OverviewΒΆ

  • What if you want to perform actions on AWS directly from your applications code? (without using the CLI)
  • You can use an SDK (software development kit)
  • Official SDKs are
    • Java
    • .NET
    • Node.js
    • PHP
    • Python (named boto3 / botocore)
    • Go
    • Ruby
    • C++
  • We have to use the AWS SDK when using AWS Services like DynamoDB
  • The AWS CLI uses the python SDK (boto3)
  • The exam expects you to know when youu should use an SDK
  • Good to know: if you don't specify or configure a default region, then us-east-1 will be chosen by default
