alfred-ec2
An Alfred workflow to query for EC2 instances by tag and SSH into the instance using its private IP address. Type ec2ls in Alfred to get a list of instances.
Dependencies
- iTerm2 3.0+ (not backwards compatible)
- zsh shell
- Python executable located at /usr/local/bin/python
Setup
This script makes use of deanishe/alfred-workflow and boto/boto.
- Clone this repo in Alfred's workflow directory (typically ~/Documents/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows)
git clone git@github.com:SoMuchToGrok/alfred-ec2.git ~/Documents/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows
- Execute setup.sh to install python dependencies.
~/Documents/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/ec2-alfred-workflow/setup.sh
To access AWS, it will use the credentials stored under ~/.aws/config. You
can use the command awsprofile in Alfred to select which account to use. Also use
awsregion to select the region. Use awsuser to select the default user.
When you select an instance, it will start an iTerm2 session and execute a
ssh command (strict host key checking disabled) using the default user and will try to load a ssh key with the
same name as the session. The applescript can easily be modified as needed.
