Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Extract ec2 metadata information from the local http interface on an ec2 instance

npm status Build Status

This module can be consumed programmatically or as a command line tool

Click here for complete reference about ec2 metadata information or better yet, use this module's cli to get an index of properties.

Beware, though, when traversing the ec2 metadata information tree! There are some "traps" one is ought to know of in advance, if one is to save precious time... this is discussed here

example

npm i ec2-info

const ec2Info = require('ec2-info')

let properties = ['meta-data/instance-id', 'meta-data/instance-type']

// fetch these properties
ec2Info(properties, (err, info) => {
    if (err) return console.error(err)
    // prints: Map { 'meta-data/instance-id' => 'foofoofoo', 'meta-data/instance-type' => 'm4-large' }
    console.log(info) 
})

// custom data url
let options = { dataURL: 'http://localhost:8080/latest/' }
ec2Info(properties, options, (err, info) => {
    if (err) return console.error(err)
    // prints: Map { 'meta-data/instance-id' => 'foofoofoo', 'meta-data/instance-type' => 'm4-large' }
    console.log(info) 
})

api

ec2Info(properties, callback [, options])

Fetch the specified set of properties and return them in the callback inside an ES6 Map object.

If used on anything other than an ec2 instance as determined by is-ec2-machine the module will still work without an error but all the property values will be not an ec2 machine.

You can disable that check by specifying the option { testIsEc2Machine: false }

You can also change the default url http://169.254.169.254/latest/ to something else by specifying the option { dataURL: 'http://localhost:8080/latest' }. This is helpful in testing or if you're using the package on your machine but want to port foward to an ec2 instance, e.g: ssh -f ec2-user@<ec2 host address> -L 8080:169.254.169.254:80 -N'

command line tool

npm i -g ec2-info

ec2-info --help

fetch some values:

ec2-info fetch --help

ec2-info fetch meta-data/public-ipv4 meta-data/instance-id --format=json

list some known keys
