Autocomplete SSH hosts for AWS

Setup autocompletion

To get it working you need to install bash-completion and boto3 python library.

On MacOS X run:

$ brew install bash-completion
$ pip install boto3 awscli
$ aws configure

Enter your credentials to get access to the AWS API.

Or you can use environment variables.

Create symlink to .ssh_autocompletion file in your home folder:

$ ln -sf  $(pwd)/.bash_autocompletion ~/

Import .bash_autocompletion in your ~/.bashrc:

$ echo 'source ~/.bash_autocompletion' >> ~/.bashrc
$ . ~/.bash.rc

Installing

The easiest way to install aws_ssh_config is to use pip:

$ pip install aws_ssh_config

or from sources:

$ git clone https://github.com/DmitriyLyalyuev/aws_ssh_config.git
$ cd aws_ssh_config
$ python3 setup.py install

Generating/updating ssh config

Create for ssh config.d folder:

$ mkdir -p ~/.ssh/config.d

To generate or update ssh config for AWS hosts run:

aws_ssh_config > ~/.ssh/config.d/aws

Usage

To test autocompletion enter in terminal:

$ ssh host_[TAB]
