Dump all EC2 information to a folder suitable for version control
Project description
Dump all EC2 information to a folder suitable for version control
ec2audit can output either to stdout or to a directory, and can output in json and yaml formats. Identical data should produce identical output (suitable for diff-ing).
Types
Currently ec2audit can dump:
instances
security groups
volumes.
Usage
The most basic usage is:
ec2audit <region>
However the recommended usage is to output to a directory with one item per file.
ec2audit <region> -o <output_dir>
This will create instances, security_groups, and volumes folders under the <output_dir> directory, with each instance, security group and volume represented in its own file.
You can change the output format using -f json or -f yaml. For convenience you can also do -fj or -fy.
For reference, the complete usage information is represented below:
Usage: ec2audit [options] <region> ec2audit -h | --help ec2audit -v | --version Options: -h --help Show this screen. -v --version Show the version. -o --output=OUTPUT The output directory, stdout otherwise -f --format=FORMAT The output format: json or yaml [default: yaml] -I --access-key-id=ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS access key to use (default: $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID)[. -S --secret-key=SECRET_KEY AWS secret key to use (default: $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY). -K --secret-key-file=SECRET_KEY_FILE File containing AWS secret key to use.
