Ssh2ec2 – Connect to EC2 instances via tags/metadata instead of hostname

In plain words

Ssh2ec2 is a tool that simplifies connecting to Amazon EC2 instances by allowing users to search and connect using instance tags or metadata rather than hostnames. Launched in 2016, it targets AWS system administrators and developers who manage multiple EC2 instances and want a faster way to establish SSH connections without memorizing or looking up IP addresses or DNS names. The tool streamlines a common workflow in cloud infrastructure management.
