Using boto3 to run a python script from powershell remotely not working
If you're using boto3
to run a Python script remotely from PowerShell, there are a few things to consider to ensure it works correctly:
Ensure you have installed the
boto3
library in your Python environment. You can install it using pip:pip install boto3
Make sure you have valid AWS credentials configured on the machine where you're running the PowerShell script. This includes the access key and secret key, which should have sufficient permissions to execute the desired AWS actions.
In your PowerShell script, ensure you have the necessary AWS credentials configured. You can do this by setting the appropriate environment variables:
powershell$Env:AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "your_access_key"
$Env:AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "your_secret_key"
$Env:AWS_DEFAULT_REGION = "your_region"
Replace
"your_access_key"
,"your_secret_key"
, and"your_region"
with your actual AWS credentials and desired region.In your PowerShell script, use the
aws
command-line interface (CLI) to execute the Python script remotely. For example:powershellaws lambda invoke --function-name your_lambda_function --payload file://path/to/payload.json output.json
Replace
"your_lambda_function"
with the name of your Lambda function,"path/to/payload.json"
with the path to your JSON payload file, and"output.json"
with the desired output file.
Make sure you have the AWS CLI installed and properly configured on the machine where you're running the PowerShell script.
By following these steps, you should be able to use boto3
to run a Python script remotely from PowerShell using AWS services.
