[Question] What are the aliases used in The Effective AWS CLI User?

[jason-riddle]

In the following video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc1dHtWa9-Q), there were three aliases that I thought were interesting.

aws authorize-my-ip
aws connect-ssh
aws auto-configure

What are the commands backing these aliases?

I want to add these to the repository. I just need to clean them up a bit before adding them. For the authorize-my-ip and connect-ssh, these are more or less how I defined them:

authorize-my-ip =
  !f() {
     my_cidr=<INSERT_CIDR_BLOCK_HERE>
     aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id "${1}" \
       --port 22 --protocol tcp --cidr "$my_cidr"
  }; f


connect-ssh =
  !f() {
    instance_output=$(aws ec2 describe-instances \
                        --instance-ids "${1}" \
                        --query Reservations[0].Instances[0])
    ssh_key_file=$(jp -u KeyName <<< "$instance_output")".pem"
    public_ip=$(jp -u PublicIpAddress <<< "$instance_output")
    if ! [ -f "$ssh_key_file" ];
    then
      echo "Error: Could not locate SSH key: "$ssh_key_file" in current" \
           "working direcory"
      exit 1
    fi
    if [ "$public_ip" == "null" ];
    then
      echo "EC2 Instance: "${1}" does not have a public IP address." \
           "Unable to connect with SSH."
      exit 1
    fi
    ssh -i "$ssh_key_file" ec2-user@"$public_ip"
  }; f

For the first one, I want to convert to a subcommand alias possibly and for the second alias I want to remove the dependency on jp and use a builtin UNIX command line tool instead in order to make it easier to use out of the box.

As to the auto-configure alias, it is shelling out to a python script that I have located on disk. I want to expose the script and the alias in the alias repository as well, but I need to clean it up a bit before I do so.

Sounds good. Thanks!

could you do (to replace jp usage):

instance_output=($(aws ec2 describe-instances \
    --instance-ids "${1}" \
    --query 'Reservations[0].Instances[0].[KeyName,PublicIpAddress] | join(`" "`, @)' | tr -d '"'
))
ssh_key_file=$instance_output[1]".pem"
public_ip=$instance_output[2]

hey @kyleknap does that combo of join and tr work for you? works for me locally but didn't test widely.
