Question:
I have an EC2 instance and an S3 bucket in different region. The bucket contains some files that are used regularly by my EC2 instance.
I want to programatically download the files on my EC2 instance (using python)
Is there a way to do that?
Answer:
Lots of ways to do this from within python
Boto has S3 modules which will do this. http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ref/s3.html
You could also just use the python requests library to download over http
AWS Cli also give you an option to download from the shell:
