AWS_CLI_Command_Generator

Converts a JSON string or a Python dictionary containing options of AWS CLI into a valid CLI command string.

Usage

1. As a standalone script

   python aws_cli_manager.py [aws service name] [service command name] [valid json string containing options]

   For example:

   python aws_cli_manager.py ec2 run-instances '{"image-id":"some image id","instance-type":"t2.small","dry-run":"","tag-specifications":[{"ResourceType":"instance","Tags":[{"Key":"Name","Value":"myserver"}]}]}'

   Here is a prettified version of options json used above. Please note for using it with script, the json string should be a one long string.

   {
     "image-id": "some image id",
     "instance-type": "t2.small",
     "dry-run": "",
     "tag-specifications": [
       {
         "ResourceType": "instance",
         "Tags": [
           {
             "Key": "Name",
             "Value": "my server"
           }
         ]
       }
     ]
   }

   Output:

   aws ec2 run-instances --tag-specifications 'ResourceType=instance,Tags=[{Value=myserver,Key=Name}]' --instance-type t2.small --dry-run --image-id some image id

2. Inside another script

   import aws_cli_manager.py as AWS_CLI_MANAGER

   1. command = AWS_CLI_MANAGER.generate_aws_cli_command([aws service name],[service command name],[valid json string containing options])

   or

   2. command = AWS_CLI_MANAGER.generate_aws_cli_command([aws service name],[service command name], [python dictionary containing options]
