A small tool to manage EC2 instances from command line.
Having to open the EC2 console every time you have to spin up a machine is quite annoying, especially if you have a 2-factor authentication set up. Using the AWS CLI requires you to remember the instance ids and changing the instance type is not that easy, so I wrote this small script to handle listing instances, start, stop and changing instance type on the fly.
Available commands:
list-instances: overview of the available instances with their informationstart-instance: start the instance with the provided namestop-instance: stop the instance with the provided namechange-instance-type: change the specified instance type to the selected one
