AWS workflows?

[stonefury]

Curious if anyone has seen anything on worksflows for interacting with AWS?  For example, listing EC2 instances might be handle. I am often having to lookup public IPs for machines I spin up.

As far as I can tell, there is just one for S3. http://www.packal.org/workflow/s3cmd-toolkit

@stonefury, I haven't, but seeing as I do a bunch of stuff programmatically with AWS, I might throw something out there to list instances. What would you want to see?

Sure.  Using the awscli is actually pretty easy. It requires some manual setup, but otherwise you can just use plain old bash to produce your output in some cases. For example, I have a keyword that given the instance name and region will automatically open an ssh session through iterm, or for those without iterm, generate the ssh string.  Basically, I often am wanting the IP address of an instance and hate looking it up or cut'n pasting from the awsui which needs focus have the time to even be able to copy to the clipboard.
