eb ssh
Description
Note
This command does not work with environments running Windows Server instances.
Connect to a Linux Amazon EC2 instance in your environment using Secure Shell (SSH). If an
environment has multiple running instances, EB CLI prompts you to specify which instance you
want to connect to. To use this command, SSH must be installed on your local machine and
available from the command line. Private key files must be located in a folder named
.ssh under your user directory, and the EC2 instances in your
environment must have public IP addresses.
If the root directory contains a platform.yaml file specifying a
custom platform, this command also connects to instances in the custom environment.
SSH keys
If you have not previously configured SSH, you can use the EB CLI to create a key
when running eb init. If you have already run eb init, run it
again with the --interactive option and select Yes and
Create New Keypair when prompted to set up SSH. Keys created
during this process will be stored in the proper folder by the EB CLI.
This command temporarily opens port 22 in your environment's security group for incoming
traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 (all IP addresses) if no rules for port 22 are already in place. If
you have configured your environment's security group to open port 22 to a restricted CIDR
range for increased security, the EB CLI will respect that setting and forgo any changes to
the security group. To override this behavior and force the EB CLI to open port 22 to all
incoming traffic, use the --force option.
See Security groups for information on configuring your environment's security group.

Open port 22 to incoming traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 in the environment's security group, even if the security group is already configured for SSH. Use this option if your environment's security group is configured to open port 22 to a restricted CIDR range that does not include the IP address that you are trying to connect from. |
