Prerequisites

The module has boto3 defined in its external dependencies, which means, you should install the Python boto3 package manually if you don't have automatic package installation configured in your Odoo environment. Run pip install boto3 to install it.

Setting up AWS Access

1. Create AWS Access Keys

   To use the AWS integration with Cetmix Tower, you need to create AWS access keys:

   • Follow the official AWS documentation (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/security-creds.html) for creating IAM access keys
   • It's recommended to create a dedicated IAM user with appropriate permissions for Cetmix Tower
   • Store your access key ID and secret access key securely - you'll need them in the next step

2. Configure AWS Secrets in Cetmix Tower

   Create two secrets in Cetmix Tower to store your AWS credentials:

   • Navigate to Cetmix Tower > Settings > Keys and Secrets
   • Create a new Secret with:
     • Name: AWS Access Key
     • Reference: aws_access_key
     • Key Type: Secret
   • Enter your AWS access key ID in the Secret Value tab
   • Similarly, create another Secret with:
     • Name: AWS Secret Access Key
     • Reference: aws_secret_access_key
     • Key Type: Secret
   • Enter your AWS secret access key in the Secret Value tab

   Note: These secrets will be accessible as #!cxtower.secret.aws_access_key!# and #!cxtower.secret.aws_secret_access_key!# in your commands.

3. Configure AWS Region

   Create a variable to define your AWS region:

   • Navigate to Cetmix Tower > Settings > Variables
   • Create a new Variable with:
     • Name: AWS Region Name
     • Reference: aws_region_name
     • Type: String
   • Set your AWS region (e.g., us-east-1, eu-west-1) as the value
