Adding sample for dynamic AWS inventory

[wieshka]

Adding sample script for discovering EC2 instances with boto3, grouping them by speciifed Tag based on its Value + connecting via EC2 Instance Connect rather regular SSH. More info on EC2 Instance Connect can be found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/Connect-using-EC2-Instance-Connect.html.

This sample will:

• List all instances in the desired region;
• Group them by selected Tag, in the particular example - by aws:cloudformation:stack-name - Tag automatically added for resources which are part of AWS CloudFormation stack, so, effectively, will group instances by Stack.
• All instances without matching Tag will be added in separate group NotTagged
• For connection to instance, support for EC2 Instance Connect is implemented based on mssh

Potentially to be added but not needed in my scenario:

• CustomProperties for region, tag_name and perhaps for NotTagged toggle - to enable/disable grouping none-matching items;
• Potentially getting rid of boto3 dependency, but then, I would prefer to see in Royal support for venv. Would be so awesome.
• Some cleanup.

Hi @wieshka,

many thx for your contribution, sounds like a very useful addition!

Could you please take a look at the other samples in this repository? All of them are published as .rdfe files (Royal Dynamic Folder Export files) which contain the scripts as well as metadata like a description, notes for getting the script running and, if required, custom properties. This way other users can also discover the scripts through our dynamic folder importer from within the app (File - Import - Dynamic Folder).

You can export dynamic folders as .rdfe files by control-clicking/right-clicking a dynamic folder in Royal TSX' navigation panel and selecting "Export…".

thx,
felix

@wieshka Any news on this?

@wieshka thank you for your contribution. We would love to get this sample merged, unfortunately the format of your script does not meet our formats. Please consider:

• Exporting it like @lemonmojo already mentioned in a previous comment
• Add some variables for e.g. region, tag, custom command in order to keep the script flexible

A good starting point may be the Bitwarden (Python).rdfx example

Looking forward to hear from you
