Best way to authenticate boto3??
-
Hello All,
I'm building a Python based desktop application to work with some AWS services. The application has a front-end built with the kivy framework and AWS boto3 being the primary tool in the back-end. So my aim is to access services such as AWS IoT & DynamoDB using this application.
The question is, according to AWS standards, we've three modes of authentication for boto3 to access AWS servers.
1. X.509 certificates
2. IAM Authentication
3. Cognito IdentitiesX.509 certificates are mostly preferred for embedded devices and not in applications.
That leaves me with 2 options, either IAM or Cognito.
I'm not convinced with the idea of hard coding credentials into our code.
In such a case which one of these is a better way of authentication and why?
Do we really have a problem if we hard-code IAM credentials in our application code?

@zainmuhammed Can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?
You can put the GPS value on top of the loop or setup function.
Also, what kind of gateway are you using? Is it configured okay, OTA is done?

@salmanfaris Today I tried after connecting a 18650 cell,
Data getting in console after integration of both lora and gps.
here you can see that GPS value is 0,0. also in my previous post you can see that GPS value is not reading.
Also the status LED is active after it is connected to the satellite. -
Hi @zainmuhammed ,
Can you share the GPS and LoRa output when it’s working?
Also can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?
Also make sure the device provides have enough to modules. The GPS need more power when you cold start.
