gossm

gossm is interactive CLI tool that you should select server in AWS and then could connect or send files your AWS server using start-session, ssh, scp under AWS Systems Manger Session Manager.

Overview

gossm is interactive CLI tool that is related AWS Systems Manger Session Manager. It can select a ec2 server installed aws-ssm-agent and then can connect its server using start-session, ssh. As well as files can send using scp.
If you will use gossm tool, this mean there will no need to open inbound 22 port in your ec2 server when is using ssh or scp command.
Because AWS Systems Manger Session Manager is using ssh protocol tunneling.

Additionally Features

• mfa command has added. this command is to authenticate through AWS MFA, and then to save issued a temporary credentials in $HOME/.aws/credentials_mfa. (default expired time is after 6 hours)
  You should export global environment, such as export AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE=$HOME/.aws/credentials_mfa.
  With completed, you can execute AWS CLI and gossm conveniently without mfa authenticated.
  Refer to detail information below.

# ssh(if pem isn't registered)
$ gossm ssh -e '-i key.pem user@server-domain'

# ssh(if pem is already registered using ssh-add and don't pass -e option) -> select server using interactive cli
$ gossm ssh

# ssh(if pem isn't registered and don't pass -e option) -> select server using interactive cli
$ gossm ssh -i key.pem
 
# scp(if pem is already registered using ssh-add)
$ gossm scp -e 'file user@server-domain:/home/blahblah'

# scp(if pem isn't registered)
$ gossm scp -e '-i key.pem file user@server-domain:/home/blahblah'
