Install django-dynamodb2-sessions using pip:

pip install django-dynamodb2-sessions

Export your AWS key and secret key as environment variables because of security:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='YourKey'
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='YourSecretKey'
export AWS_REGION_NAME = 'YourRegion'

In your settings.py file, you'll need set variables:

import os
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.environ.get('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', '') # set Your AWS key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.environ.get('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY', '') # set Your AWS secret key
AWS_REGION_NAME = os.environ.get('AWS_REGION_NAME', '') # set Your AWS region

DYNAMODB_SESSIONS_TABLE_NAME = '' # set Your sessions table name

Set your session backend to:

SESSION_ENGINE = 'dynamodb_sessions.backends.cached_dynamodb'

or:

SESSION_ENGINE = 'dynamodb_sessions.backends.dynamodb'

Optional you can set always consistent parametr. If you are not using cache to this sessions backend you can force all reads from Dynamodb by setting True. Default: False:

DYNAMODB_SESSIONS_ALWAYS_CONSISTENT = False

• Initial release.

• Added removing expired sessions command management.
