Utility tool for exploring ECS clusters.

ecs-explorer

What is ecs-explorer?

This is a small project to simplify read-only tasks for an AWS ECS cluster. If you, like me, have multiple clusters and from time to time need to check services availability, this might help you.

Motivation

The idea behind ecs-explorer is to give a flexible and colorized output perspective of your cluster. I created it because I enjoy CLI apps and I wanted to explore AWS ECS SDK.

I also used the codebase as an instructional code session to explain Go for a group of friends.

How to

Build:

go build . 

Usage:

▶ ./ecs-explorer --help
Usage of ./ecs-explorer:
  -cluster string
    	the cluster name
  -services string
    	a comma separated list of services
  -suffix string
    	the service name suffix to look for

Output:

▶ ./ecs-explorer --cluster=ecs-<cluster-name> --services=<service1,service2,service3> --suffix=-foo

service1-foo: status ACTIVE, desired: 1, running: 1
service2-foo: status ACTIVE, desired: 1, running: 1
service3-foo: status INACTIVE, desired: 0, running: 0

I hope you enjoy it!
