##Caution! This is a community script, intended for Nuage VNS PoCs and Labs. It is not meant to be used in production.

Hello there. Are you bored from manually importing the OVA/VMDK/RAW VM image from your S3 to your Amazon EC2? if yes, then don't worry, I've created a python script that automates this process for you.

1. Verifies AWS is installed on the running machine
2. Configures "aws configure" command to connect to your AWS account
3. Creates a trusted policy to be able to perform certain AWS operation
4. Creates a role named vmimport and give VM Import/Export access to it
5. Attaches the policy to the role
6. Creates a file, which contains information about the image
7. Executes the role policy
8. Checks the status of loading the OVA/VMDK/AMI image to your EC2.

Before you run the script, you should have Python, pexpect, and AWS CLI installed. If pexpect and AWS cli are not installed, just type:

• pip install pexpect
• pip install --upgrade --user awscli

To use the script, type the script name and pass the aws parameters.

Mandatory parameters are:

• access_key               Enter your AWS Access Key (i.e., BKIAIB6QLXA536P2U4BQ)
• secret_key                 Enter your AWS Secret Key (i.e., oJdKhwd204uJgP0+2v96TDV6rs)
• region_name             Enter your AWS S3 Region (i.e., us-west-2)
• nsg_filename             Enter your NSG file name (i.e., Nuage-NSG-4.0.7-129-AWS.raw)
• bucket_name             Enter your AWS S3 Bucket Name (i.e., nsgami)

Note: For AWS root account credentials, you get credentials, such as access keys or key pairs, from the Security Credentials page in the AWS Management Console. For more information, please go to AWS webpage: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html
