AWS boto3 credentials, boto session and boto3 available clients in python for the region the session was created.
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.
My notes below.
aws-boto3-session¶
Example of AWS boto session credentials.

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()
