Boto is the original Python SDK providing interfaces to Amazon Web Services such as EC2, S3, DynamoDB, and SQS. It is deprecated and no longer maintained, having been replaced by Boto3.
Use cases
- access aws services from python
- upload files to s3 with python
- manage ec2 instances programmatically
- use dynamodb from python
- maintain legacy python 2 code using boto2
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy codebase already written against boto 2
- working with an old AWS service API only boto2 supports
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use boto3 instead
- you need support or bug fixes - issues are not reviewed
- you need Python 3 support for all services
