Session — Boto 3 Docs 1.9.46 documentation

A session manages state about a particular configuration. By default a session is created for you when needed. However it is possible and recommended to maintain your own session(s) in some scenarios. Sessions typically store:

• Credentials
• Region
• Other configurations

Default Session

The boto3 module acts as a proxy to the default session, which is created automatically when needed. Example default session use:

# Using the default sessionsqs = boto3.client('sqs')s3 = boto3.resource('s3')

Custom Session

It is also possible to manage your own session and create clients or resources from it:

# Creating your own sessionsession = boto3.session.Session()sqs = session.client('sqs')s3 = session.resource('s3')
