AliYun ECS Control

This is a utilitiy tool allows you to up/down AliYun ecs instance conveniently, saving instance cost by bringing it up on demand.

Install

Clone the repo and add the following alias to ~/.bash_profile

alias ecs='bash PATH_TO/aliecs/scripts/ecs.sh'

Then source ~/.bash_profile

Usage

Set env vars:

export ECS_ACCESS_KEY_ID        # AliYun access key ID
export ECS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET    # AliYun access key secret
export ECS_KEY_PAIR_NAME        # Optional
export ECS_ROOT_PWD             # Root password

Commands:

ecs up     # create a new instance or start an existing one
ecs down   # stop an existing instance
ecs del    # delete an instance
ecs desc   # list available instances
ecs go     # ssh into one of the instances

All those commands support an optional index to specify a particular instance to operate on. The index is defined in the table from the ecs desc. Index 0 is used by default.

Instance related configs are in config.go
