I would like to use a boto3 config object to configure connection timeout and other attributes when interacting with DynamoDB through boto3. I have already written my code using a boto3 resource, and all the examples I have been able to find leverage a boto3 client instead when using a config object.
Is it possible to use a config object with a boto3 resource, and if not, why?
I learned that a boto3 resource objects does in fact accept a parameter for a config object. So I was able to define a config object in my wrapper class:
from botocore.config import Config
..
self.config = Config(
connect_timeout = 1,
read_timeout =1
)
And then later do this:
self.dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', config = self.config)
