About AWS credentials, boto3.session, list boto3 available clients in python3, load and access AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN.
Documentation here https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html.

Help on class Session in module boto3.session:
class Session(builtins.object)
| Session(aws_access_key_id=None, aws_secret_access_key=None, aws_session_token=None, region_name=None, botocore_session=None, profile_name=None)
|
| A session stores configuration state and allows you to create service
| clients and resources.
|
| :type aws_access_key_id: string
| :param aws_access_key_id: AWS access key ID
| :type aws_secret_access_key: string
| :param aws_secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
| :type aws_session_token: string
| :param aws_session_token: AWS temporary session token
| :type region_name: string
| :param region_name: Default region when creating new connections
| :type botocore_session: botocore.session.Session
| :param botocore_session: Use this Botocore session instead of creating
| a new default one.
| :type profile_name: string
| :param profile_name: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then
| the default profile is used.

creating-aws-boto3-session-with-aws-access-keys-secret-access-key-and-token
In this method, you must pass the AWS_ACCESS_KEY, SECRET and TOKEN through environment variables. It is not recommended to hard-code credentials.
session = boto3.session.Session(
aws_access_key_id = AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
aws_secret_access_key = AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
aws_session_token = AWS_SESSION_TOKEN,
region_name='eu-west-2',
botocore_session=None,
profile_name=None
)
In this method, the boto3, session will look for credentials in various locations based on predefined order, as described in the documentation https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html.
session = boto3.session.Session(
region_name='eu-west-2'
)

services = session.get_available_services()
