AWS Credentials

The script will look for credentials to AWS in the following locations:

• AWS_PROFILE environment variable with credentials set in either ~/.aws/credentials or ~/.aws/config. When using this, --aws-region must be set, ~/.aws/config must contain a region value for the profile or AWS_DEFAULT_REGION must be set.

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables. When using this, --aws-region must be set or AWS_DEFAULT_REGION must be set.

• --aws-profile command line option. When using this, --aws-region must be set, ~/.aws/config must contain a region value for the profile or AWS_DEFAULT_REGION must be set.

• --aws-access-key-id, --aws-secret-access-key command line options. When using this, --aws-region must be set or AWS_DEFAULT_REGION must be set.

Key in AWS Config file

If you are using the same key for all the AWS EC2 Windows instances available from a profile, you can set the path to the key file in the ~/.aws/config file. To do so, add a ec2rdp_key entry with the path to the key file under the profile.

Example:

[profile profile1]
output = json
region = us-west-1
ec2rdp_key = ~/keys/profile1.pem
