# ssh-ec2
A tool that helps you ssh into EC2 servers using tags, so you do not need to
instead of paste the IP address into your terminal## AWS EC2 Tags
This tool assumes your instances have certain tags in EC2:
- `environmentName` corresponding to the environment they belong to, such as
`staging`, `production`, or something else.
- `serverRole` indicating what this server does. It might be `backend` or `api`
or `database`.## Installation
```bash
git clone
cd to/this/reponpm install -g
# now check that installation worked by running it
ssh-ec2
