Note

You are viewing the documentation for an older version of boto (boto2).

Boto3, the next version of Boto, is now stable and recommended for general use. It can be used side-by-side with Boto in the same project, so it is easy to start using Boto3 in your existing projects as well as new projects. Going forward, API updates and all new feature work will be focused on Boto3.

For more information, see the documentation for boto3.

date:2013/05/15

This release adds ELB support to Opsworks, optimized EBS support in EC2 AutoScale, Parallel Scan support to DynamoDB v2, a higher-level interface to DynamoDB v2 and API updates to DataPipeline.

Features

  • ELB support in Opsworks - You can now attach & describe the Elastic Load Balancers within the Opsworks client. (commit ecda87)
  • Optimized EBS support in EC2 AutoScale - You can now specify whether an AutoScale instance should be optimized for EBS I/O. (commit f8acaa)
  • Parallel Scan support in DynamoDB v2 - If you have extra read capacity & a large amount of data, you can scan over the records in parallel by telling DynamoDB to split the table into segments, then spinning up threads/processes to each run over their own segment. (commit db7f7b & commit 7ed73c)
  • Higher-level interface to DynamoDB v2 - A more convenient API for using DynamoDB v2. The DynamoDB v2 Tutorial has more information on how to use the new API. (commit 0f7c8b)
