Configuration

You can change the supported AWS regions and add additional accounts via AWS roles (see docs) that will be retrieved by the script. At the moment you have to edit the config.json manually. It is located in the same installation directory, just run which ec2-ssh to find the path.

Example config.json:

{
  "regions": [
    "eu-central-1",
    "eu-west-1
  ],
  "roles": [
    "arn:aws:iam::1234567:role/admin"
