ASAP can Code - Just another Brite Ideas Network site
My last post discussed doing web development with an iPad Pro and a VPS, and included Pythonista scripts for automating the creation/deletion of nodes on Linode. Today, I’ll show different versions of these scripts that can be used for starting and stopping EC2 instances.
The scripts assume you have an EBS-backed EC2 instance, which we will start and stop. Unlike Linode and others, EC2 instances of this type do not incur charges when stopped (other than storage), so our scripts will simply start and stop the instance you’ve already created.
To get started, first install boto , a Python library for accessing AWS. The easiest way I’ve found to install it is to run this script , which will install boto in Pythonista, in a folder called boto-module.
