I wrote a ruby script that does tag lookup for me with an interactive prompt. Took about an hour. Sent it to my team so we all use it. Can't imagine subscribing to a service for something that is a minor devops task.

- LilBytes 4y agoThis was my comment re. AWS SSM and Tailscale just a few days ago. 'Installing the agent client side is no more or less tedious than installing the Tailscale client, IMO anyway. I made two scripts, one in .Net with a GUI for non-devs to grep a server hostname or tag:name in AWS that resolves to an instance ID for SSH or RDP. And another python script doing the same but without the GUI for the dev team. Works a treat. But you've already explained why it's a little tedious and now I've documented and understood why. Tailscale MagicDNS does all this nonsense for you. Yeah ok thanks for rubber ducking me I see your point now. :)'
