AWS Bash Console Script

This repository contains a Bash script called AWS_Start_Stop.sh that simplifies managing your AWS EC2 instances. Based on the original AWS-DOS-CONSOLE script, this updated version allows you to easily run, stop, and change the state of your AWS EC2 instances directly from the command line.

With this script, you can manage your EC2 instances without navigating through the AWS Management Console, by simply providing the Instance ID of the EC2 instance and specifying the desired action (start, stop, reboot, etc.). The script is designed to streamline EC2 management, making it easier and faster to control your cloud infrastructure.

Features

• Start/Stop Instances: Easily start or stop any EC2 instance using its Instance ID.
• Reboot Instances: Quickly reboot an instance with a single command.
• Check Instance Status: View the current status of your EC2 instances.
• Simplified Commands: No need to manually input complex AWS CLI commands – this script handles everything for you.

Prerequisites

Before using the script, ensure you have the following:

• AWS CLI: The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) must be installed and configured with proper credentials.
• Bash: A Unix-based system with Bash shell support.
