Bash function for SSH into EC2 by Name Tag

ssh-to-ec2-by-tag-name

<< //// 
This function will ssh into a EC2 based on Name tags. You can ssh in via public or private IP This function requires awscli to work 
There are several optional environment variables:
   AWS_PROFILE = Control which profile is active with this variable, if this is unset the function will use AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE instead
   SSH_EC2_KEY_FILE = path to the key file for the user 
   SSH_EC2_USER = name of the user that logs in, if this variable is unset the value is ec2-user

To use this function do the following commands
(from command line)

1) mkdir -p ~/gist
2) git -C ~/gist clone [email protected]:30060471804df63e32c1f0a23251d2e3.git 

Then copy the following (if to fi) into your ~/.bashrc

if [ -f $HOME/gist/30060471804df63e32c1f0a23251d2e3/ssh-to-ec2-by-tag-name ]; then
   . $HOME/gist/30060471804df63e32c1f0a23251d2e3/ssh-to-ec2-by-tag-name
fi

Then either 'source ~/.bashrc' or close the terminal and open a new one
