SSH into EC2 instances via tag name
Project description
A pair of command line utilities for finding and SSH-ing into your Amazon EC2 instances by tag (such as ‘Name’).
Forked from Instagram original code by YPlan.
Installation
From pip:
pip install ec2-ssh
Usage
# ec2-ssh
% 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
# Specifying the user with an environment variable
% EC2_SSH_USER=deploy ec2-ssh nginx2
# ec2-host
# w/o arg: prints all active instances
% ec2-host
ec2-123-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com
ec2-132-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com
ec2-231-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com
# w/ arg
% ec2-host backend
ec2-132-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com
ec2-132-45-67-90.compute-1.amazonaws.com
# w/ tag arg too
% ec2-host -t environment production
ec2-132-45-67-90.compute-1.amazonaws.com
ec2-111-45-67-90.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Next version release notes here
1.9.0 (2017-09-08)
Both ec2-host and ec2-ssh now only show/use instances in the running state.
Use the Public IP for an instance if EC2 no Public DNS for a public instance. It turns out EC2 may not return the Public DNS even when a Public IP is assigned.
1.8.0 (2017-07-19)
Use private IP addresses for instances that don’t have public ones. Such instances are not guaranteed to be accessible from the current host, depending on networking setup, but it’s better the tool let’s you try it.
1.7.0 (2017-04-23)
Rewrite to use setup.py’s entry_points feature, rather than scripts. This makes everything importable from the ec2_ssh module and makes ec2-ssh faster as calling the ec2-host behaviour no longer requires subprocess.
1.6.0 (2017-04-13)
ec2-ssh supports specifying the username with the -u/--user flag or the EC2_SSH_USER environment variable.
1.5.3 (2017-03-23)
Acquired the PyPI name ec2-ssh, moved fork back there from ec2-ssh-yplan.
1.5.2 (2016-08-17)
Fix Python 3 bug with subprocess output type
1.5.1 (2016-01-21)
