Conssh

Conssh is a utility to configure SSH. It generates config files with connection information for a fleet of EC2 instances.

Use it together with an autocompletion tool that understands SSH, like bash-completion or fzf.

Basic usage:

$ AWS_REGION=us-west-1 AWS_PROFILE=staging bundle exec conssh > ~/.ssh/config
$ ssh …

Background

It is inspired by similar tools such as ec2ssh and aws-ssh-config.

This is experimental code. See the issues section for the work to make it more robust.

Notable features:

• Written in Ruby using version 3 of the AWS SDK
• Unit tested using the Moto mock AWS API server
• Packaged as a Ruby gem to use as a library or an executable
