This topic describes how to configure access credentials and initialize the Python SDK. These configurations ensure secure access to Object Storage Service (OSS) resources and help optimize client performance.
Configure access credentials
You must configure access credentials before you send OSS requests with the Python SDK. Alibaba Cloud services use access credentials to authenticate user identities and access permissions. The linked topic helps you select the appropriate authentication and authorization methods for your scenario. It also explains how to configure credentials and protect your AccessKey pairs. For more information, see Configure access credentials (Python SDK V1).
Initialize the Python SDK
Initialize the Python SDK to manage OSS resources from a Python program, such as creating or deleting buckets and uploading or downloading files. For more information, see Initialization (Python SDK V1).
