go-aws-tools

go-aws-tools

This is repo is the result of a quick and dirty exploration golang, the AWS sdk, & cobra.

I had implemented most of this functionality in bash, but turns out dealing with complicated data structs in a string based interpreter is a bad idea (shocking I know)

Commands

A true README/man is tbd, but luckily cobra has a decent help menu built in. For the time being, here's the quick version

Usage:
  go-aws-tools [command]

Available Commands:
  help           Help about any command
  jump           Utility to authenticate & connect to selected instances w/ an in-memory key && ec2 instance connect
  list-instances A very untested command to list instances w/ id, name, pub ip, priv ip

Flags:
  -h, --help             help for go-aws-tools
      --profile string   aws profile to use
      --region string    aws region to use (default "us-west-2")

Use "go-aws-tools [command] --help" for more information about a command.
