ssm-session should support -name flag

[rothgar]

Would be great to be able to mach an instance based on the AWS Name label.

This would be great!

This should be possible already via the -f flag as of the 1.0.0 release

ssm session -f 'Name=YourInstanceNameHere'

[robertd]

@ncatelli Is it possible to search by name if it contains a string?

i.e. ssm session -f 'Name=ContainsValue*'

Is this possible at all?

Hello @robertd,

In theory, the -f flag is a very thin wrapper around AWS Resource Filters which means you should be able use the patterns you described and described in the above link. However, in attempting to confirm this, it appeared not to work as expected. I'll work on correcting this behavior to match the above link unless someone feels strongly otherwise.
