ec2-bastion-sshconfig
This script will interate over instances found by ec2.py and if those instances are not publically accessible it will search the associated VPC for any public instance that can be used as a bastion. Additionally it will create host aliases for any DNS records found in route53 that match the instance's IP(s) and CNAME records. The resulting output can be added to your ~/.ssh/config.
Requirements
This scipt depends on the ec2.py script and ec2.ini configuration file to work. You also need a working AWS_PROFILE as expected by the boto module.
Assumptions
ec2.pyandec2.iniare installed.group_by_vpc_id = Trueinec2.ini- SSH keys are named on your filesystem to the value of
ec2_key_name. (You can use symlinks)
Setup environment
Create a python environment for testing
# python3 -m venv ec2-bastion-sshconfig
Enter the environment
# source ec2-bastion-sshconfig/bin/activate
Install required python modules
# pip install -r requirements.txt
Set ENV vars
# export AWS_PROFILE=default
# export EC2_INI_PATH=/usr/local/etc/ec2.ini
Run
# ./ec2-bastion-sshconfig.py -h
usage: ec2-bastion-sshconfig.py [-h] [--profile PROFILE] [--ec2Py EC2PY]
