aws-instance-tool

A super simple tool for starting, stopping, and connecting to Amazon EC2 instances.

Usage

Installation is managed by setuptools:

cd aws-instance-tool
python3 setup.py install

You'll need to write a ~/.config/aws-instance.yaml file that contains a dictionary of names and instance identifiers, e.g.:

ident: /path/to/amazon.pem
username: foobar
instances:
  g4dn.xl: i-00123456789abcdef
  m5.mt: i-abcdef00123456789

The script is then callable as aws-instance, e.g.:

aws-instance start g4dn.xl

If you would like shell completion, then add this to your ~/.bashrc:

eval "$(_AWS_INSTANCE_COMPLETE=bash_source aws-instance)"
