AWS Toolkit

AWS Toolkit is a collection of utilities designed to simplify the management, monitoring, and troubleshooting of AWS cloud services. This repository contains a series of scripts and tools that help AWS users manage cloud resources more efficiently.

Tool List

• EC2 Capacity Poller (ec2_capacity_poller) A tool that automatically polls for On-Demand EC2 instance capacity availability and launches instances when capacity becomes available. Supports multiple AZs, fallback instance types, and dry-run mode.

• EC2 Connection Troubleshooter (ec2_conn_troubleshoot) A diagnostic tool that helps identify and resolve EC2 instance connection issues by checking instance status, security group settings, CPU load, and other potential failure points.

• RDS Status Check (rds_status_check) A monitoring tool that automatically checks the status of RDS/Aurora database instances during creation or modification processes. It provides real-time updates and connection details once the database is available.

• RDS Connect Helper (rds-connect-helper) An toolkit that automation establishes network connectivity between EC2 instance and RDS database across different VPCs and regions. It creates and configures VPC peering connections, updates route tables and security groups, with built-in connection testing and resource cleanup capabilities. Supports cross-region scenarios with CIDR conflict detection.

• CloudWatch Agent Installer (ec2_install_cwagent) A script that automates the installation and configuration of the CloudWatch agent on EC2 instances. It supports multiple architectures (x86_64 and ARM64) and operating systems (Amazon Linux, RHEL, Ubuntu, and Debian).

• RDS Instance Stop Assistant (rds_instance_stop) A set of automation scripts to keep RDS instances in a stopped state beyond the 7-day limit, helping to save costs. Includes options for cron jobs and CloudWatch Events rules.

• S3 Bucket Killer (s3-bucket-killer) A command-line tool for safely deleting AWS S3 buckets, handling various obstacles such as non-empty buckets, versioning, bucket policies, and other configurations that might prevent deletion.

• AWS Resource Tracker (aws-resource-tracker) A solution for monitoring and tracking AWS resource creation and deletion operations, including a web interface for viewing historical records.

Todo List

• CloudWatch Alarm Management Tool
• ECS Service Deployment Assistant

Usage

Each tool includes its own README file with detailed usage instructions. Generally, the tools follow this pattern:

# Make the script executable
chmod +x script_name.sh

# Run the script with required parameters
./script_name.sh <required_param> [optional_param]

Requirements

• AWS CLI installed and configured
• Appropriate IAM permissions for the operations performed by each tool
• Additional dependencies as specified in individual tool documentation
