awsecsconnect

https://www.notion.so/Start-a-shell-on-any-backend-container-121a349afecb803ebc33ed4d81abd953?pvs=4

Tired of typing a series of aws cli commands to get the arns and container name I need, when trying to just open up a shell in that container.

Usage: awsecsconnect

Dependencies: This assumes that you have AWS Profile environment variables set up already, and that you can execute the aws cli using aws.

Notes

• This uses boto3 to get most of the details, but ultimately still depends on having the AWS CLI installed, because the execution of an interactive shell is a whole client unto itself.
• This package is published publicly to PYPI so that it can be conveniently installed with pip. Ultimately, this is not an open source project and not publicly maintained or documented (yet?). I've registered this in pypi under my personal account just to keep SV1 names out of the picture. You don't REALLY need pypi to use this - you can just run it directly from the source - but a global package is very convenient.

Install

The latest tested build is available via pip: pip install --upgrade awsecsconnect.

Build

python -m build will create builds in ./dist/

Publish

Using twine with an api key, publish a new specific to pypi: twine upload --repository pypi dist/awsecsconnect-0.0.4*

The build number is in the project file, and needs to be updated to create a valid downloadable pypi build.
