EC2InstanceConnect

Client

class EC2InstanceConnect.Client

A low-level client representing AWS EC2 Instance Connect

Amazon EC2 Instance Connect enables system administrators to publish one-time use SSH public keys to EC2, providing users a simple and secure way to connect to their instances.

import boto3

client = boto3.client('ec2-instance-connect')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
close()

Closes underlying endpoint connections.

get_paginator(operation_name)

Create a paginator for an operation.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Raises OperationNotPageableError
Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the client.can_paginate method to check if an operation is pageable.
Return type
L{botocore.paginate.Paginator}
Returns
A paginator object.
get_waiter(waiter_name)

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters
waiter_name (str) -- The name of the waiter to get. See the waiters section of the service docs for a list of available waiters.
Returns
The specified waiter object.
Return type
botocore.waiter.Waiter
send_serial_console_ssh_public_key(**kwargs)

Pushes an SSH public key to the specified EC2 instance. The key remains for 60 seconds, which gives you 60 seconds to establish a serial console connection to the instance using SSH. For more information, see EC2 Serial Console in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Examples

The following example pushes a sample SSH public key to the EC2 instance i-abcd1234 in AZ us-west-2b for use by the instance OS user ec2-user.

response = client.send_ssh_public_key(
    # The zone where the instance was launched
    AvailabilityZone='us-west-2a',
    # The instance ID to publish the key to.
    InstanceId='i-abcd1234',
    # This should be the user you wish to be when ssh-ing to the instance (eg, ec2-user@[instance IP])
    InstanceOSUser='ec2-user',
    # This should be in standard OpenSSH format (ssh-rsa [key body])
    SSHPublicKey='ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC3FlHqj2eqCdrGHuA6dRjfZXQ4HX5lXEIRHaNbxEwE5Te7xNF7StwhrDtiV7IdT5fDqbRyGw/szPj3xGkNTVoElCZ2dDFb2qYZ1WLIpZwj/UhO9l2mgfjR56UojjQut5Jvn2KZ1OcyrNO0J83kCaJCV7JoVbXY79FBMUccYNY45zmv9+1FMCfY6i2jdIhwR6+yLk8oubL8lIPyq7X+6b9S0yKCkB7Peml1DvghlybpAIUrC9vofHt6XP4V1i0bImw1IlljQS+DUmULRFSccATDscCX9ajnj7Crhm0HAZC0tBPXpFdHkPwL3yzYo546SCS9LKEwz62ymxxbL9k7h09t',
