E1S - Easily Manage AWS ECS Resources in Terminal 🐱

e1s is a terminal application to easily browse and manage AWS ECS resources, supports both Fargate and EC2 ECS launch types. Inspired by k9s.

A quick video demo

AWS credentials and configuration

e1s uses the default aws-cli configuration. It does not store or send your access and secret key anywhere. The access and secret key are used only to securely connect to AWS API via AWS SDK. Both profile and region are overridable via the AWS_PROFILE, AWS_REGION prepend environment variable or --profile, --region option.

Installation

e1s is available on Linux, macOS and Windows platforms.

• Binaries for Linux, Windows and Mac are available in the release page.

brew install keidarcy/tap/e1s
# brew upgrade
# brew upgrade keidarcy/tap/e1s

• Docker image

# use custom-profile profile, us-east-2 region
$ e1s --profile custom-profile --region us-east-2
# use command line to set read only, debug, stop auto refresh with a custom log path json output and dracula theme
$ e1s --readonly --debug --refresh -1 --log-file /tmp/e1s.log --json --theme dracula
# docker run with specified profile and region
$ docker run -it --rm -v $HOME/.aws:/root/.aws ghcr.io/keidarcy/e1s:latest e1s --profile YOUR_PROFILE --region YOUR_REGION

Config file(sample)

Default config file path is $HOME/.config/e1s/config.yml, it's possible specify the config file that viper supports with --config-file option.

Interactively exec towards containers(ECS Exec)

Use aws-ecs-exec-checker to check for the pre-requisites to use ECS exec.

interactive exec demo

Use ctrl + d to exit interactive-exec session.

Troubleshooting

The execute command failed because execute command... - check service execute command, task role policy

Session Manager plugin not found - document.

Update service

• Force new deployment
• Desired tasks
• Task definition family
• Task definition revision

Register task definition

Register task definition

Start port forwarding session

With a specified task and container, to start port forwarding session you need to specify a port and a local port. The local port is the port on your local machine that you want to use to access the container port.

Port forwarding session

Start remote host port forwarding session

With a specified task and container, to start a remote host port forwarding session you need to specify a port, a host and a local port. The local port is the port on your local machine that you want to use to access the remote host port though container.

Remote host port forwarding session

File transfer

Implemented by a S3 bucket. Since file transfer though a S3 bucket and aws-cli in container, you need a S3 bucket and add permissions S3 bucket permission to the task role and e1s role, and also need a aws-cli installed container.
