Run commands on multiple servers in your AWS EC2 Infrastructure

Aell

Aell let's you run commands on multiple servers querying by your host tags in your AWS Infrastructure

Installation

To run this script you must have a ruby installed in your machine.

After that, you can install from RubyGems

gem install aell

Usage

To start using aell you need a AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_REGION, after that you can set the keys as environment variables:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=my_access_key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=my_secret_access_key
export AWS_REGION=my_aws_region # (eg: us-east-1)

# OPTIONAL (when using MFA)
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=my_secret_session_token

Or set with the aell options in each command:

aell -t Application:some-app -u deploy-user --access_key_id access_key_id --secret_access_key secret_access_key --region us-east-1 -c 'echo "Hello Aell"'

Aell can also use aws configuration in ~/.aws/, or use a specific profile with --profile option, eg:

aell --profile my_other_profile -t Application:some-app -u deploy-user -c 'echo "Hello Aell"'

Aell use AWS tags to query the servers with the -t/ --tag flags, to know more just type aell -h
