ec2-handler

Description

Python Boto scripts for handling Amazon EC2 instances.

For now this is a one-trick-pony: when given an instance Name as string and a region, it will simply return the latest instance created with that Name

Install

$ git clone https://github.com/rpappalax/ec2-handler.git
$ cd ec2-handler
