cloudsnake ssm start-session --target i-XXXXXX  # connect to the instance specifying the target id

SSM get parameter

cloudsnake ssm get-parameter # default region eu-west-1

Installation

Using pipx (Recommended)

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

pipx install cloudsnake

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.

Uninstall

pipx uninstall cloudsnake
