Description

What problem do you want to solve?

The current OpenTelemetry instrumentation for botocore only instruments BaseClient._make_api_call, which means several AWS SDK operations that don't go through this code path are not traced.

Example: RDS IAM Authentication
rds_client = boto3.client('rds')
token = rds_client.generate_db_auth_token(
    DBHostname='mydb.cluster-123456.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com',
    Port=3306,
    DBUsername='myuser'
)
Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the OpenTelemetry botocore instrumentation to also trace operations like botocore.signers.RequestSigner.generate_presigned_url

Research direction

Start by reading the existing OpenTelemetry botocore instrumentation around BaseClient._make_api_call and compare it with botocore.signers.RequestSigner.generate_presigned_url. Verify the RDS generate_db_auth_token path and identify the instrumentation tests covering traced AWS operations; done means calls through generate_presigned_url are traced without breaking existing instrumentation.
