#Update-Hosts
Yet another python script for update internal ip address after EC2 Instance reboot/shutdown. It uses the "Name" tag into AMI to get all meta data.
##Remember Set valid and unique tag name into EC2 Management Console for every Instance.
##Install
- Insert your AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and your current AWS_REGION. [https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/securityCredentials]
- Copy the script into /usr/local/bin/update-hosts.py
- Insert crontab rule (as root user) like:
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/update-hosts.py > /dev/null 2>&1 - Set execution permission: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/update-hosts.py .
- Check your updated /etc/hosts file .
- Repeat for all Instances .
