To develop a Python script that displays a menu for users to select a new encryption key from a list of available keys, you can use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3). Below is an example script that demonstrates this [1][2]:
import boto3
# Initialize the AWS KMS client
kms = boto3.client('kms')
def list_encryption_keys():
try:
# List the available KMS keys
response = kms.list_keys()
keys = response['Keys']
if not keys:
print("No encryption keys found.")
else:
print("Available Encryption Keys:")
for index, key in enumerate(keys, start=1):
key_id = key['KeyId']
description = key.get('Description', 'No description available')
print(f"{index}. Key ID: {key_id}, Description: {description}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error listing encryption keys: {e}")
def select_encryption_key():
while True:
list_encryption_keys()
choice = input("Enter the number of the encryption key you want to select (or 'q' to quit): ")
if choice.lower() == 'q':
break
try:
index = int(choice)
if 1 <= index <= len(keys):
selected_key = keys[index - 1]
key_id = selected_key['KeyId']
description = selected_key.get('Description', 'No description available')
print(f"Selected Key ID: {key_id}, Description: {description}")
return key_id
else:
print("Invalid selection. Please enter a valid number.")
except ValueError:
print("Invalid input. Please enter a number.")
if __name__ == '__main__':
keys = [] # Store the retrieved encryption keys
while True:
key_id = select_encryption_key()
if key_id:
break
Before running this script, make sure you have the AWS CLI configured with your AWS access and secret keys using aws configure.
This script uses Boto3 to retrieve the list of available encryption keys and allows users to select a key interactively by entering the corresponding number. It provides a simple and dynamic way for users to make a secure choice among the available keys.
To enable users to share their EBS snapshots with other AWS accounts and ensure that the shared snapshots are copyable, you can use the AWS SDK for JavaScript (AWS Amplify) to manage permissions and sharing settings. Here’s a JavaScript code snippet to achieve this:``
Nov 15, 2023Creating a shell script that logs the execution of health check automation steps and sends notifications in case of issues can be achieved using the logger utility for logging and, for notifications, you can use email, text messages, or any other notification service of your choice. Below is a simple shell script that logs execution and sends notifications via email using the mail command:``
Nov 15, 2023Creating a custom Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from an existing EC2 instance can be done through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs, but you can also automate this process using a shell script. Below is a simple shell script that assists in creating a custom AMI from an existing EC2 instance using the AWS CLI:
Nov 15, 2023Here’s a Python program that takes user input for creating EBS snapshots, initializing volumes, and changing encryption keys for EBS volumes using the AWS SDK (Boto3). This program assumes that you have the boto3 library installed and configured with your AWS credentials.
