ec2-fzf

ec2-fzf is a tool that utilised the fzf fuzzy matcher in order to retrieve the public or private address of an ec2 instance.

Installation

go get github.com/solarnz/ec2-fzf/cmd/ec2-fzf

Usage

You can pass --private to ec2-fzf, and it will return the private ip address of the instance, rather than the public dns record. This is useful for instances within a VPC.

You can also set --region and pass the ec2 region you would like to list instances in.

You can use ec2-fzf with ssh with ssh $(ec2-fzf --region ap-southeast-2)

You can add filters on to the instances that are listed with the --filters flag. You can define --filters multiple times to filter by more than one value. Valid values are those used in the aws-sdk-go sdk

ec2-fzf --filters tag:realm=test --filters tag:Name=Test

You can pass --use-instance-id=true to instead of returning the IP address associated with the instance to return the instance's id. This is useful for connecting via aws ssm rather than directly.

Configuration

You can set the default configuration options in ~/.config/ec2-fzf/config.toml, example

Region = "us-east-1"
Template = "{{index .Tags \"Name\"}}"
