Simple AWS extension

This is a simple Visual Studio Code extension to get a list of several AWS resource types, which are obtained via the AWS CLI and a profile.

Features

Note: See Requirements before you start using the extension.

Press Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows) or Command + Shift + P (Mac) to open the actions menu, type Get AWS resource info and press Return.

Type the name of the AWS profile you want to use to connect to your AWS account. This profile must be previously configured with the aws configure command.

A list of several resource types appears, select or start typing the resource type you need, then press Return.

Specify if you want to get the resource info (a simple string representation of the resource, which normally includes ID, Name, and commonly used properties) or details (a JSON representation with all the details of a resource).

Then select a resource from the list given. If the extension errors before this list, check the error details on the popup shown.

Now, if you have a document open, then the information is appended as text in the document. If you don't have a document open, then all the information will be put in the clipboard.

Requirements

• AWS CLI installed.
• You need to set AWS credentials for a profile so it can be used by the extension.
