EC2 Starter

If you develop on an EC2 instance, it's a good practice to turn off the instance at night to save the resources. But that means you have to log into the console every morning to turn on the instance--until now!

This is a simple script that uses the Node AWS SDK to turn on a specific instance.

Deps

1. Node
2. Set up your AWS credentials file. This script assumes your [default] profile is where your instance is. It also assumes it's in us-west-2. Those assumptions are easy to change in the file.
3. go into the file and change the instance id on line 6

Usage

node index.js

Once this command finishes the instance will be running and you should be able to ssh.
