ec2-instance-lister

List IP addresses of ec2 instances having a certain keyword in their name.

#Installation:

npm install -g ec2-instance-lister

#Usage:

This module uses RC to manage its configuration, so you will have to type your AWS credentials into the .ec2-instance-listerrc file.

Run:

ec2-instance-lister

options

--searchString | -s

Specify a search string to find in the instance tags

--account

Specify an account name for different credentials. The default credentials are named aws and they appear in the config file like so:

{
    "aws": {
        "accessKeyId": "blablabla",
        "secretAccessKey": "shhhhhhhhh",
        "region": "us-moon-1"
    }
}

if you specify --account or add it in the config, e.g. ec2-instance-lister --account=foo then credentials used will be under the account name key:

{
    "aws": { ... },
    "foo": {
        "accessKeyId": "blablabla",
        "secretAccessKey": "shhhhhhhhh",
        "region": "us-moon-1"  
    }
}

--ipType

which ip of the server to return: private or public, defaults to 'public' when selecting public or private, instances that do not have a particular ip will not be listed
