Hey Welcome! back to Automations with Python for AWS!! 
Now IT market says AWS is the top number one Cloud Computing platform. That is why I've selected this AWS automations using Python Boto3.

In this post we will be exploring the AWS EC2 Instance related operations, and manage them in a reusable form.
  • Create EC2 instance using Python Boto3
  • Launch AWS EC2 instance using Python Boto3 script
  • Stop AWS EC2 instance using Python Boto3 script
  • Start AWS EC2 Instance using Python Boto3 script
  • Terminate AWS EC2 instance using Python Boto3 script
  • Fetching Public IP of given instance-id



How do you Create EC2 instance using Python3 Boto3? 

 Creating EC2 instance using Boto3 Python code 
#=============================================
# File : create_ec2.py
# Description: Create EC2 instance by Boto3

import boto3
ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')

instances = ec2.create_instances(
        ImageId="ami-0dafa01c8100180f8",
        MinCount=1,
        MaxCount=1,
        InstanceType="t2.micro",
        KeyName="KeyPair1"
    )
Launch instance 
import boto3
ec2_client = boto3.client('ec2')

# This function will requires 
# image_id [Required] based on the region this will be changing
# instance_type [optional] default t2.micro type otherwise you can provide
# max [optional] default as 1, you can provide maximum number of instances
def launch_instance(image_id, instance_type='t2.micro', max=1):
	resource = ec2_client.run_instances(ImageId=image_id,
					InstanceType=instance_type,
					MinCount=1, MaxCount=max)
									
	for instance in resource['Instances']:
		print(instance['InstanceId'])

# main program
launch_instance('yourami-id')
To control the ec2 instances individual AWS cli commsnd  test Start, Stop 
ec2.start_instances 

ec2.stop_instances

and terminate the ec2 instance
List AWS EC2 Instances using python boto3 script 
import boto3
ec2_client = boto3.client('ec2')
resp = ec2_client.describe_instances()
for reservation in resp['Reservations']:
	for instance in reservation['Instances']:
		print("Running Instance Image ID: {} Running instance Instance Type: {} Running Instance Keyname {}".format(instance['InstanceId'],instance['InstanceType'],instance['KeyName']))
Python code with Menu driven program to manage EC2 instances 
import boto3
import time

ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')
ec2_client = boto3.client('ec2')

## Display all instances
def display_instances():
    for instance in ec2.instances.all():
        print (instance.id , instance.state)

## Stop instance by given instance id
def stopinstance():    
    instanceid=input("Please enter instanceid:")
    response = ec2_client.stop_instances(InstanceIds=[instanceid])
    time.sleep(90)
    display_instances()

## Terminate instance by given instance id
def terminateinstance():    
    instanceid=input("Please enter instanceid:")
    response = ec2_client.terminate_instances(InstanceIds=[instanceid])
    time.sleep(90)
    display_instances()
    
## Start instance by given instance id
def startinstance():    
    instanceid=input("Please enter instanceid:")
    response = ec2_client.start_instances(InstanceIds=[instanceid])
    time.sleep(90)
    display_instances()

## Main Program
def main():
    while True:
        menu_list=["Display All Instance","Stop Instance","Start Instance","Terminate Instance","Exit"]
        i=1
        for item in menu_list:
            print (i,item)
            i=i+1
        choice=int(input("Please enter Menu Choice:"))
        if choice==1:
            display_instances()
        elif choice==2:
            stopinstances()
        elif choice==3:
            startinstances()
        elif choice==4:
            terminateinstance()            
        else:
            exit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Enjoy the automations with Python Boto3 for AWS...

Python Interview Questions -Coding Snipets

By
 This post is dedicated for all DevOps Engineer, Software Engineers who are preparing for Coding Interviews,  Overview of Coding Interviews Most Companies looking for People with minimum Coding knowledge. In a coding interview, you will be given a small problem to solve within 10 - 20 minutes online screen or in-person on their system. In the question, you might be having some part of the code framed and you might be asked to write a snippet of code in between. You need to understand the code comments and proceed to build the expected snippet of code. Bigger companies look for the General purpose questions, where small companies look for specific questions. The General questions would be like this: Determine if the given word is a palindrome or not. (Example madam) Determine given number is prime or not. How to prepare for a coding interview? Now we have the flexibility to choose the programming language on which you are comfortable.  In general DevOps Infra guys will be ...

Python Sets and Dictionaries

By
Python Sets Python Maps examples A mapping object maps hashable values to arbitrary objects. Mappings are mutable objects. There is currently only one standard mapping type, the dictionary. Dictionaries consist of pairs (called items) of keys and their corresponding values. Dictionaries can be created by placing a comma-separated list of key: value pairs within curly braces Keys are unique within a dictionary while values may not be. The values of a dictionary can be of any type, but the keys must be of an immutable data type such as strings, numbers, or tuples. Python Set Operations and methods Python Set methods continueed >>> SET={'new','old','list','new'} >>> SET set(['new', 'old', 'list']) Lets play with set operations, it is more like school math here... >>> s={1,2,3,4} >>> k={3,4,5,6} >>> len(s) 4 >>> len(k) 4 >>> 1 in s True >>...

Program Controls and loops in Python

By
Python Programming controls The flow of program will be controlled with conditional statements where this flow  if condition if-else condition if-elif condition while loop while - else loop for loop for with if- else loop if condition Here I would like to work on program control statements, wherein relate some operating system functionalities so that, this would give some basic prototype for the sys admin scripts. #!/usr/bin/python # This illustrate if condition # Filename : ifex.py import os d=os.listdir('/home/pavanbsd/pybin') print d f='ifex.py' if f in d: print "File exists" else: print "Not found..." if-elif-else ladder No worries, coming soon... When you need the task that need to be done repeatedly then your choice is using loops. Python provides two simple loop constructs easy to use! More powerful then other scripting compare to, it has 'else' block. while loop Understand the power of while loop,...
