An alternative AWS command line tool
A tributory of the Amazon. It is written in Go so I could have gone with xingo, and I do love a pun, but it turns out that Xingo is a character from Ben 10.
Initially I wanted to download RDS logs and the way to do this is supposed to be
$ aws rds download-db-log-file-portion --db-instance-identifier <db ID> --log-file-name <filename> --output text --starting-token 0 > /tmp/psql.log...but this didn't work. It downloads a portion (the hint being in the API endpoint name) and sure, you can get multiple bits and stick them together, possibly even in a bit of shell script if you wanted, but I didn't.
Primarily xingu reads your AWS configuration from your environment and your home directory, just like the aws tool does.
In addition it has its own config file at $HOME/.xingu.yaml that contains some optional configuration:
# Set per-configuration SSH config. This is useful if you have lots of
# SSH keys and don't want to offer all of them to the remote server, since
# most will give up after a few and tell you that your authentication
# has failed. It is also useful because you can have individually
# configured jump hosts that match on 10.*.*.*. If you have many VPCs
# in the 10.*.*.* range with overlapping subnets, this allows you to pick
# the right jump host for the right VPC.
