如何使用python boto获取EBS卷类型？

Question

I started writing simple nagios check in python to monitor "Burst Balance" on EBS gp2 volumes. I'd like to skip checking volumes with Provisioned IOPS (io1)

I can get this information with aws ec2 describe-volumes .

How can I check volume type with boto in python?

Answer 1

The boto3 describe_volumes() call returns the volume type:

'VolumeType': 'standard'|'io1'|'gp2'|'sc1'|'st1'

I couldn't find an equivalent in boto , but it's probably time to move across to boto3 . If desired, you can use both of them in the same application, simply import boto3 and use it in parallel.
