SSH into your EC2 instances based on their configurations.

Project description

awsh

Another SSH utility for AWS

Installation

$ pip install awsh

If you never configured awscli before.

$ aws configure

Alternatively it can be downloaded on pypi.

Requirements

  • Python 2 or 3

What does it do?

It gives you a list of hosts you have access to and preconfigure ssh with the proper key and user (assuming they have not been overridden by a configuration management tool). You can filter by instance name and if it matches only one instance it will log to it.

Use Cases

  • You are running Elasticbeanstalk, EMR or something that creates it’s own instance automatically.

  • You are using different key-set for different instances and you can’t remember which one does what.

  • Instances are coming and going and you lost track of what is available.

Usage

usage: __init__.py [-h] [--users USERS [USERS ...]] [--region REGION]
                   [-i KEY_PATH] [-c COMMAND] [-r REMOTE_HOST]
                   [-p REMOTE_PORT] [-l LOCAL_PORT] [--keys KEYS]
                   [--timeout TIMEOUT] [--console-output] [--version]
                   [filter]

SSH into AWS instances. The default user list assumes that your instances runs
on Ubuntu and or Amazon's AMIs. ex: "awsh --users user1 user2 --region us-
west-2 --keys '~/.keys' instance-name". Note that "awsh --users user1 user2
instance-name" will not be parsed properly due to the nature of nargs. In that
case you may want to do: "awsh instance-name --users user1 user2".

positional arguments:
  filter                Optional name filter. If only one instance is found,
                        it will connect to it directly.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --users USERS [USERS ...]
                        Specify the users to try.
  --region REGION       Specify the aws region.
  -i KEY_PATH, --key-path KEY_PATH
                        Specific key path, overrides, --keys
  -c COMMAND, --command COMMAND
                        Translates to ssh -C
  -r REMOTE_HOST, --remote-host REMOTE_HOST
                        Open a tunnels. Translates to ssh -L <local-port
                        >:<remote-host>:<remote-port> <selected-aws-host>
  -p REMOTE_PORT, --remote-port REMOTE_PORT
                        Port to use on the remote host.
  -l LOCAL_PORT, --local-port LOCAL_PORT
                        Port to use on the local host. Get overwritten by
                        remote port if not defined.
