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.
From pip:
pip install ec2-ssh# ec2-ssh
% ec2-ssh nginx2
# equivalent to
# ssh [email protected]
% 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
