   pip install boto3
   
2. Configure AWS Credentials: Ensure that you have AWS credentials configured on the machine where you will be running the Python script. You can set up your AWS credentials using AWS CLI by running:
   aws configure
   
3. Write a Python script to update the Shield Advanced configuration: Create a Python script with the following code snippet to update the Shield Advanced configuration to enable auto-renewal:
   import boto3
   
   def update_shield_advanced_auto_renew():
       shield = boto3.client('shield')
   
       response = shield.update_subscription(
           AutoRenew=True
       )
   
       print("Auto Renewal for Shield Advanced has been enabled successfully.")
   
   if __name__ == '__main__':
       update_shield_advanced_auto_renew()
   
4. Run the Python script: Save the Python script with a meaningful name (e.g., update_shield_auto_renew.py) and run it using the following command:
   python update_shield_auto_renew.py
   
5. Verify the Shield Advanced configuration: After running the script, verify that the Shield Advanced setting has been updated to auto-renew by checking the AWS Management Console or by running describe_shield_subscription API call.
