AWS Buckets and Boto ... Oh NO
#1
I have avoided AWS up until Today, but need to access some files that are stored on AWS.
I downloaded boto3 so I could access these.
Upon looking at the first page of the boto docs, i see
import boto3

s3 = boto3.client('s3')
s3.download_file('BUCKET_NAME', 'OBJECT_NAME', 'FILE_NAME')
I'm with Woz on Cloud anything: https://www.cnet.com/news/woz-the-cloud-is-a-nightmare/

What the %$^$# is a Bucket??
I haven't tried downloading with requests yet, but did try wget and get some whacky html file in return.

Does anyone know of a good simple quick tutorial for a doubting Thomas?
