| 5 ## Introduction |

| 7 Boto is a Python package that provides interfaces to Amazon Web Services. |
| 8 At the moment, boto supports: |
| 9 |
| 10 * Simple Storage Service (S3) |
| 11 * SimpleQueue Service (SQS) |
| 12 * Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) |
| 13 * Mechanical Turk |
| 14 * SimpleDB |

| 20 * Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) |
| 21 * Relational Data Service (RDS) |
| 22 * Simple Notification Server (SNS) |
| 23 * Google Storage |

| 30 The goal of boto is to support the full breadth and depth of Amazon |
| 31 Web Services. In addition, boto provides support for other public |
| 32 services such as Google Storage in addition to private cloud systems |
| 33 like Eucalyptus, OpenStack and Open Nebula. |
| 34 |
| 35 Boto is developed mainly using Python 2.6.6 and Python 2.7.1 on Mac OSX |
| 36 and Ubuntu Maverick. It is known to work on other Linux distributions |
| 37 and on Windows. Boto requires no additional libraries or packages |
| 38 other than those that are distributed with Python. Efforts are made |
| 39 to keep boto compatible with Python 2.5.x but no guarantees are made. |
