Manage AWS EC2 Instances from the Command Line Using Python and Boto3

Introduction

Managing Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 instances from the command line can be quite convenient. In this blog post, we’ll demonstrate how to create a simple Python script using the Boto3 library, which (among other things) allows you to manage your EC2 instances directly from the command line. The skeleton of this script can even be adapted to other kinds of AWS python utilities. Here’s a link to the GitHub repo if you want to take a closer look at the finished product.
