AWS workflow for Alfred 3.

This workflow allows you to search through various AWS resources by ID, name and/or tag.

You must have your AWS credentials set up in your ~/.aws directory:

$ cd ~/.aws
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw------- 1 twang staff 224 Nov 26 00:28 config
-rw------- 1 twang staff 706 Nov 18 00:01 credentials
$ cat config
[default]
region = us-east-1

[profile foo]
region = us-west-2
$ cat credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
aws_secret_access_key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[foo]
aws_access_key_id = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
aws_secret_access_key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In Alfred Preferences, choose the AWS workflow and click the [x] icon to configure the WF_QUICKLOOK_PORT environment variable.

If not configured, quicklook will be disabled.

Select the AWS profile to use by opening Alfred and typing:

aws >profile <profile name>

Open Alfred and type:

aws <query>

To perform a query against your selected profile. Alfred will then auto-populate results that are visible in your AWS account.

Below is a table describing the currently supported AWS resource lookups and what Alfred will do upon hitting Enter when combined with modifier keys:

	(none)	Cmd	Alt / Option	Ctrl	Shift (press, not hold)
CloudFormation	Open stack in AWS console				Quicklook
CloudWatch Log Group	Open log group in AWS console	Executes awslogs command in terminal for tailing (requires awslogs on your $PATH!)	Copies awslogs tail command to clipboard		Quicklook
EC2	Copies private IP	Open instance in AWS console	Copies public IP (if available)		Quicklook
Elastic Beanstalk	Open environment in AWS Console	Copies load balancer URL (if available)			Quicklook
Lambda	Open function in AWS console	Open CloudWatch log group in AWS Console			Quicklook
RDS	Copy endpoint URL	Open cluster or node in AWS Console			Quicklook
Redshift	Open cluster in AWS console	Copies first node's private IP (if available)	Copies first node's public IP (if available)		Quicklook
S3	Open bucket in AWS Console				Quicklook
SQS	Open queue in AWS console	Copy queue URL			Quicklook

Search queries can be in the form of a space separated list of facet:value or simply just value. Single (') or double (") quotes may be used for either the facet or value to allow for spaces, and escapes (\\) can be used to escape a literal apostrophe or quotation character. Furthermore, colons in facets and values can be specified by quoting the string (e.g.: url:'www.august8.net:8080').

The available facets for each service, as well as the default facet if not provided, is specified for each service below.

If a bare value starts with i-, the workflow will search for exact prefix matches against the EC2 Instance Id. Otherwise, bare value queries will search the Name tag for the instance.

All other facets map to the tags on the instance. Note, all tag names are converted to lowercase.

The default facet is the Name tag for the bucket.

All other facets map to the tags on the bucket. Note, all tag names are converted to lowercase.

Search for an EC2 Instance with a Role tag of webserver:

aws role:web

If the EC2 Instance also has a Environment tag of integration-testing, I can search multiple tags via:

aws role:web environment:test

If the EC2 instance also happens to be named my-test-application, I may further restrict my query:

aws role:web environment:test my te app

You can also open your browser to the AWS Web Console using the + leader prefix:

aws +<query>

See here for demo.
