You can use this image with the convenient daws script included here as well. First you can install daws to /usr/local/bin with $ sudo make install (you can leave in your home directory if do not have sudo rights).
Once installed, try it:
$ daws --version
aws-cli/1.6.10 Python/2.7.3 Linux/3.13.0-39-generic
$
You must have your credentials stored in ~/.aws/config in order to use it. Check aws/aws-cli: Getting Started for more info about .aws/config format.
All parameters are passed to aws ENTRYPOINT so you can use daws as you would with aws:
$ daws ec2 describe-instances
...
Should you pass any file to aws you must use local /tmp/daws. It is shared if it exists.
If you use describe-instances you usually receive a lot of unneeded info. We usually tag images with a variable named Group with the name of the Department that uses the machine.
To show machine names, groups, IP addresses and running status, use this "simple" JMESpath'd sentence:
$ daws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].{group:Tags[?Key==`Group`].Value,name:Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value,ip:PublicIpAddress,status:State.Name} | [].{Name:name[0],group:group[0],ip:ip,status:status}' --output table
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| DescribeInstances |
+------------------------------------------+---------+-----------------+--------------+
| Name | group | ip | status |
+------------------------------------------+---------+-----------------+--------------+
| DEMO-Marketing | mkting | None | terminated |
| Public-artifacts | devops | 54.11.11.11 | running |
...
If you just want to see DevOps team machines (tagged devops), filter it:
$ daws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].{group:Tags[?Key==`Group`].Value,name:Tags[?Key==`Name`].Value,ip:PublicIpAddress,status:State.Name} | [?group[0]==`devops`].{Name:name[0],group:group[0],ip:ip,status:status}' --output table
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| DescribeInstances |
+------------------------------------------+---------+-----------------+--------------+
| Name | group | ip | status |
+------------------------------------------+---------+-----------------+--------------+
| Public-artifacts | devops | 54.11.11.11 | running |
| Private-artifacts | devops | 54.12.11.11 | running |
...
This creates an Ubuntu instances (from ami-9eaa1cf6) in t2.micro hardware with the 30 GB of disk. It passes user-data file to clout-init. I returns InstanceId conveniently formatted for bash further process.
$ daws ec2 run-instances \
--image-id ami-9eaa1cf6 --instance-type t2.micro \
--block-device-mappings "[{\"DeviceName\": \"/dev/sda1\",\"Ebs\":{\"VolumeSize\":30,\"DeleteOnTermination\":true}}]" \
--subnet-id subnet-XXXXX \
--enable-api-termination \
--user-data user-data-docker \
--associate-public-ip-address \
--query 'Instances[].InstanceId' \
--output text
You can assign the InstanceId to a environment variable and use that variable to destroy the instance:
$ INSTANCE_ID=$(docker ...)
...
$ daws ec2 terminate-instance $INSTANCE_ID
