ec2-syncronous-manage
An example of how to synchronously manage your ec2 instances with python and boto
Prereqs
- boto
sudo pip install boto
Setup
Needs a configuration file at ~/.boto
:
[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = AXXXXXXXXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = qXXXXXXXXXXXX+XXXXXXXXXX
These are your amazon management keys, which are easy to generate a la: AWS access keys
If you'd rather not add another config file, just change line 8 to:
self.conn = boto.EC2Connection('<aws access key>', '<aws secret key>')
