Bang

Queries AWS for running instances, then connects you to the one you want (via ssh or mosh) so that you don't have to keep everything in your head

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bang'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bang

Usage

Make sure that these three environment variables are set export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='...'' export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='...' export AWS_IDENTITY='...' (your pem file)

We also look at AWS_REGION, but it's not mandatory to set (us-west-2 by default)

Then just run 'bang'
