AWS CLI Configure

The AWS CLI is capable of working with multiple keys, for example if you work on multiple projects.

aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]: 
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: 
Default region name [None]: 
Default output format [None]: 

Simply configure each with ...

aws configure --profile syryu

... specifying a given profile name. This profile name MUST be used with each aws call.

Start EC2 Instance

This script finds the appropriate subnet, security group and AMI.
