MyAWS

A human friendly AWS CLI written in Go.

The official aws-cli is useful but too generic. It has many arguments and options and generates huge JSON outputs. But, in most cases, my interesting resources are the same. By setting my favorite default values, MyAWS provides a simple command line interface.

Note that MyAWS is under development and its interface is unstable.

Installation

If you are Mac OSX user:

$ brew install minamijoyo/myaws/myaws

or

If you have Go 1.22+ development environment:

$ go install github.com/minamijoyo/myaws@latest

or

Download the latest compiled binaries and put it anywhere in your executable path.

Configuration

Required

MyAWS invokes AWS API call via aws-sdk-go. Export environment variables for your AWS credentials:

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXXX
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXXX
$ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=XXXXXX

or set your credentials in $HOME/.aws/credentials :

[default]
aws_access_key_id = XXXXXX
aws_secret_access_key = XXXXXX

or IAM Task Role (ECS) or IAM Role are also available.

AWS credentials are checked in the order of profile, environment variables, IAM Task Role (ECS), IAM Role. Unlike the aws default, load profile before environment variables because we want to prioritize explicit arguments over the environment.

AWS region can be set in Environment variable ( AWS_DEFAULT_REGION ), configuration file ( $HOME/.myaws.yaml ) , or command argument ( --region ).

Optional

Configuration file is optional.

MyAWS read default configuration from $HOME/.myaws.yml

A sample configuration looks like the following:

profile: default
region: ap-northeast-1
ec2:
  ls:
    all: false
    fields:
      - InstanceId
      - InstanceType
      - PublicIpAddress
      - PrivateIpAddress
      - StateName
      - LaunchTime
      - Tag:Name
      - Tag:attached_asg

Example

$ myaws ec2 ls
i-0f48fxxxxxxxxxxxx     t2.micro        52.197.xxx.xxx  10.193.xxx.xxx    running 1 minute ago    proxy
i-0e267xxxxxxxxxxxx     t2.medium       52.198.xxx.xxx  10.193.xxx.xxx    running 2 days ago      app
i-0fdaaxxxxxxxxxxxx     t2.large        52.197.xxx.xxx  10.193.xxx.xxx    running 1 month ago     batch
