ec2-ssh-cli

A simple cli tool for quickly accessing ec2 instances in your AWS environment.

Installation

npm install -g ec2-ssh-cli

Usage

Using the tool is easy. To display instances by their exact name, simply pass the name as an argument.

ec2-ssh-cli my-dev-box

You can also use an asterisk (*) to perform wildcard matches.

Here are a few examples of what you can do:

# return instances with names that start with 'my-'
ec2-ssh my-*

# return instances with names that end with 'box'
ec2-ssh *box

# return instances with names that contain 'dev'
ec2-ssh *dev*

# return instances with names that start with 'my' and end with 'box'
ec2-ssh my*box

Selecting an instance will create another menu showing you the options Info, ssh or Back

Selecting Info will display information about the instance in yml format, ssh will connect you to the instance so that you can do whatever you need, and selecting Back will return to the list of instances.
