Available implementations

• Connect to EC2 instances using SSM. You can pass the instance id (--target) or use the interactive menu (--with-instance-selector)
• (In progress) Connect to RDS instances using IAM authentication db token

Examples

For the examples, you need to be authenticated to AWS account using your local credentials.

In your terminal, set the corresponding AWS_PROFILE=MyProfile if not using the default. (~/.aws/credentials)

Connect to the EC2 instance using SSM

cloudsnake ssm start-session -is # will print all your instances in a terminal menu
cloudsnake ssm start-session --target i-XXXXXX  # connect to the instance specifying the target id

Installation

Using pip

pip3 install cloudsnake

[!WARNING] Probably your system will not allow this installation method due to a broken system package.

Example error

Error:

error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try 'pacman -S
python-xyz', where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Arch-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using 'python -m venv path/to/venv'.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.

If you wish to install a non-Arch packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have python-pipx
installed via pacman.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

Using pipx (Recommended)

Install pipx with your system package manager (apt, dnf, pacman...).

pipx install cloudsnake

Uninstall

pip3 uninstall cloudsnake
# or
pipx uninstall cloudsnake
