In our Fabric code we make use of Boto to connect to the EC2 API and pull back various bits of information and the first time anyone tries to use it they end up with the following stack trace:
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/fabric/main.py", line 717, in main
*args, **kwargs
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/fabric/tasks.py", line 332, in execute
results['<local-only>'] = task.run(*args, **new_kwargs)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/fabric/tasks.py", line 112, in run
return self.wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
File "/Users/mark/projects/forward-puppet/ec2.py", line 131, in running
instances = instances_by_zones(running_instances(region, role_name))
File "/Users/mark/projects/forward-puppet/ec2.py", line 19, in running_instances
ec2conn = ec2.connect_to_region(region)

File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/boto/auth.py", line 633, in get_auth_handler
'Check your credentials' % (len(names), str(names)))
boto.exception.NoAuthHandlerFound: No handler was ready to authenticate. 1 handlers were checked. ['QuerySignatureV2AuthHandler'] Check your credentials
We haven’t told Boto about our AWS credentials and I’ve come across two ways of providing them:
As environment variables
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="aws_access_key_id" export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="aws_secret_access_key"
In the file ~/.boto
[Credentials] aws_access_key_id = aws_access_key_id aws_secret_access_key = aws_secret_access_key
And that should do the trick!
