This shell script demonstrates how to map EC2 instances to their environment and server scope by querying the AWS instance metadata service. It uses `curl` to retrieve the instance ID and public hostname from the metadata endpoints at 169.254.169.254, then combines them with the `hostname` command and passes the result to the `ey` CLI tool via SSH. The script supports optional arguments for environment and server scope, defaulting to “stipple_prod” and “--all”, and illustrates a practical command-line workflow for infrastructure diagnostics.

This shell function shows how to enumerate server details across an Engine Yard environment by opening an SSH session to each server and querying instance metadata. It displays the hostname, instance ID, and public hostname for every server in the specified environment, defaulting to “stipple_prod” and all servers if no arguments are given. The function uses the `ey` command-line tool for SSH access and `curl` to fetch instance metadata from the AWS EC2 metadata service at 169.254.169.254, combining the results with backticks for command substitution.

AWS CloudShell to initialize a AMI micro for ARM assembly course

This visualization demonstrates an automated workflow for provisioning an AWS EC2 ARM64 instance intended for an assembly language course. It shows the complete setup process through a series of shell commands, from generating a key pair and configuring a security group to selecting an Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 AMI and launching a t4g.micro instance. The example uses the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) with commands like `aws ec2 describe-images`, `aws ec2 run-instances`, and `aws ec2 wait`, alongside bash scripting for conditional logic and user feedback. The rendering approach is textual, presenting each step with clear headers, status emojis, and echo statements to track progress.

To connect to EC2 env in a SSH Client, the following Gist has to be updated for a specific machine, source and final folders and also the Pub file.

This example shows a shell-based workflow for connecting to an Amazon EC2 instance from an SSH client, including transferring a public key and syncing local folders. It uses command-line tools like `pscp`, `ssh`, `ssh-keygen`, and `scp` to convert a PuTTY key, append the client’s public key to the server’s `authorized_keys`, and copy files via SCP with strict host checking disabled. The gist exposes the necessary commands and file paths that must be edited per machine.

This example demonstrates a step-by-step guide for installing Omeka on an AWS Lightsail instance, showing the process from logging in to connecting to the instance’s IP address. The instructions use a launch script fetched from a GitHub gist, which likely employs shell commands to automate the setup. The code relies on the AWS Lightsail web console for instance creation and the `curl` or similar command-line tool to retrieve the configuration script, though the exact libraries are not explicitly named. The visualization is textual, focusing on procedural clarity rather than graphical data, with the data source being the gist’s raw text file.

Script useful to resize or extend a disk on EC2

This example presents a shell script that automates disk resizing operations for Amazon EC2 instances. It shows the sequential process of first checking current disk space with `df -h`, then applying the `resize2fs` command with a user-specified partition name, and finally verifying the resize was successful. The script documents each step through inline comments, making it a practical reference for system administrators. The visualization highlights the clear workflow of examination, action, and validation through command-line tools on a Linux filesystem.

This example shows a shell script that automates the setup of a Linux scavenger hunt lab environment by downloading a deploy key, cloning a GitLab repository, and running Vagrant to provision the machine. The script uses `curl` to fetch an SSH key, `git clone` with submodules to pull the lab definitions, and `vagrant up` to launch the virtual machine. It then extracts the SSH hostname and port from `vagrant ssh-config` using `grep` and `awk`, printing connection instructions for the student user.

This example shows a bash script that automates the setup of a Linux scavenger-hunt lab environment. It downloads an SSH deploy key, clones a Git repository from GitLab, initializes submodules, and uses Vagrant to provision the virtual machine. The script concludes by parsing `vagrant ssh-config` output with `awk` and `sed` to display the student’s SSH connection details, including hostname and port.

This example shows a Bash script that automates the setup of a Linux scavenger-hunt lab environment, from downloading a deploy key to provisioning a virtual machine. The script uses `curl` to fetch an SSH private key, `git clone` and `git submodule update --init --recursive` to retrieve the lab definitions, and `vagrant up` to launch the machine. It then parses `vagrant ssh-config` output with `grep`, `awk`, and `sed` to extract the hostname and port, printing SSH connection instructions for the student user.
