I made it primarily for my temp servers, it's also useful if you keep restarting a box as the DNS name changes on reboot. As someone else also mentioned I think a nice addition would be to allow the name to be passed instead of just the index. The thing with temp servers is that, I don't usually bother to name them, hence again, this tool.
- vacri 11y agoIf you have instances in a VPC, they will keep their IP addresses until you destroy them. Turn them off for a week, then back on, and they bounce back with the same IP as before. EC2 classic servers will also keep their IP addresses (and hence aws-assigned hostnames) through a reboot (in which the VM itself doesn't actually get torn down), but not through a stop/start cycle. Edit: If your tool works for you, go for it. I don't mean to sound discouraging.
- soheil 11y agoThanks for clarifying the reboot sequence, I do, however, stop/start instances on a regular basis to save cost. Also good to know VPC behaves differently in that respect. I'm working on adding VPC support.
