SSH into EC2 instances via tag name

Project description

A simple command line utility, allowing you to SSH into you Amazon EC2 instances by their “Name” tag.

A few examples:

% ec2-ssh nginx2
# equivalent to
# ssh ubuntu@ec2-123-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com

% ec2-ssh root@appserver
% ec2-ssh deploy@nginx2 sudo restart nginx

# accompanying ec2-host script

# w/o arg: prints all active instances
% ec2-host
django1 ec2-123-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com
django2 ec2-132-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com
django3 ec2-231-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com

# w/ arg: prints host name of matching instance
% ec2-host django2
django2 ec2-132-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com
