get_ec2_events.sh

Requirements

You must have awscli installed, e.g. pip install awscli --upgrade
You need to configure the awscli, potentially with multiple profiles

Description

Uses the awscli tool to get a list of ec2 instances from a region and return a list of systems with one of the following event types:

instance-reboot
system-reboot
system-maintenance
instance-retirement

Usage

Grab the latest release of the script and make it executable.

chmod +x get_ec2_events.sh

The script uses whatever credentials you've configured in ~/.aws/config unless you pass it a profile name.

Run the script like:

./get_ec2_events.sh PROFILE_NAME

[bburton@althalus] ~/code/get_ec2_events_github >> ./get_ec2_events.sh solarce_aws
