Session
=======
A session manages state about a particular configuration. By default a
session is created for you when needed. However it is possible and
recommended to maintain your own session(s) in some scenarios. Sessions
typically store:
* Credentials
* Region
* Other configurations
Default Session
---------------
The ``boto3`` module acts as a proxy to the default session, which is
created automatically when needed. Example default session use::
# Using the default session
sqs = boto3.client('sqs')
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
Custom Session
--------------
It is also possible to manage your own session and create clients or
resources from it::
# Creating your own session
session = boto3.session.Session()
sqs = session.client('sqs')
s3 = session.resource('s3')
