Add support for converting dictionaries to boto-style key-value lists for AWS API parameters #45996
Description
Description
This feature request proposes adding a utility method to convert Python dictionaries into the boto-style key-value list format required by AWS APIs. This will simplify the process of working with AWS services in Airflow by allowing users to pass dictionaries (a more intuitive and user-friendly format) instead of manually formatting key-value lists.
Use case/motivation
When interacting with AWS services (e.g., S3, RDS, SageMaker), many APIs expect parameters in a specific key-value list format ([{"Key": "name", "Value": "example"}]). Currently, users must manually format their data into this structure, which is error-prone and less intuitive.
By introducing a utility method to handle this conversion, users can simply pass a Python dictionary ({"name": "example"}), and the method will automatically transform it into the required format. This improves usability, reduces boilerplate code, and makes Airflow's AWS integration more accessible to users unfamiliar with boto3's quirks.
