cloudvm 0.1.2.20260603123751

Manage cloud development instances. Currently AWS EC2 is supported.

cloudvm

A command-line tool for managing cloud development instances. AWS EC2 is currently supported.

cloudvm streamlines the daily routine of working with a development EC2 instance: it refreshes the AWS SSO token only when expired, starts the instance, waits for its public IP to be assigned, and reports it. A list subcommand surveys instances across regions to see what is still running.

Install

pipx install cloudvm

Or, if pipx is not available:

pip install cloudvm

Requires Python 3.9 or newer and a configured aws CLI (SSO or static credentials).

Usage

# Start an instance by its Name tag
cloudvm up --name my-dev-box

# Stop an instance — returns once the stop has been triggered
cloudvm down --name my-dev-box

# List instances across regions
cloudvm list --region 'eu-central-*,us-*' --name 'my-*'

All subcommands accept --region / -r and --name / -n, and honor the usual AWS environment variables (AWS_REGION, AWS_PROFILE, ...).

Pass --update-ssh to up to point the matching ~/.ssh/config host alias at the new IP.
