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

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

awsh -h
usage: awsh [-h] [--users USERS [USERS ...]] [--region REGION] [-i KEY_PATH]
            [-c COMMAND] [--keys KEYS] [--timeout TIMEOUT] [--version]
            [filter]

SSH into AWS instances. the default Assumes that everything 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:

  --region REGION       Specify the aws region.
