EC2 SSH connections helper

## An SSH connection helper for AWS

`cloudssh` allows you to quickly connect to EC2 instances using their names or instance IDs.

It will call the AWS SDK to find the instance public IP address and open a SSH connection in a subprocess.

Example:


You can connect to this instance with:
```
cloudssh dev
```

You can also use the **auto-completion feature** by building a local index of your AWS instances then calling `cloudssh` without any argument.
```
cloudssh --build_index
# The instances index has been stored in ~/.cloudssh/.

cloudssh
# Start typing an instance name and press [TAB] to auto complete.
```

Example:


## Installation and usage

```bash
pip3 install cloudssh
aws configure # To configure your AWS credentials

cloudssh myserver # Call the module followed by the name of one of your servers
```

## Advanced configuration

You can optionally create a file `~/.cloudssh/cloudssh.cfg` (see [example](cloudssh.cfg.sample)).
