  • zsh:
    • For zsh please refer to bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh. Source that file, e.g. from your ~/.zshrc, and make sure you run compinit before: $ source bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh
    • The bash compatibility auto completion (bashcompinit) is used. For further details please refer to the top of bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh

Update AWS CLI version 2

sudo ~/Downloads/aws/install --bin-dir /home/jason/.local/aws-cli --install-dir /usr/local/aws-cli --update

AWS Setup

• aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name MySecurityGroup \ --ip-permissions '{"FromPort":22,"ToPort":22,"IpProtocol":"tcp","IpRanges":[{"CidrIp": "0.0.0.0/0"}]}'

Set default editor

• sudo update-alternatives --config editor

HP printer Drivers

• Cleanup default installed files:
  • sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip
  • sudo rm -rf /etc/hp
  • sudo rm -rf ~/.hplip
  • sudo rm -rf /var/lib/hp
• Download client https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip
• chmod 700 hplip-3.19.12.run
• run ./hplip-3.19.12.run
• Follow Instructions
• run hp-doctor
• Pray.
• Support https://launchpad.net/hplip Most likely it will be ignored forever, as HP barely supports this thing.

Fed tool

• Be sure you already have run aws configure before setup of fed cli tool
• Download from confluence
• sudo cp -v ~/Downloads/fed-linux-amd64/fed /usr/local/bin/fed && sudo chmod -v 755 /usr/local/bin/fed
• username="[USAC ID]"
• Build an AWS CLI profile
  • fed --username <username> list
• Get the AWS account ARN(s) for profile
  • fed --username <username> list
  • This is the ARN(s) from the above output
• Store the profile
• fed -u <username> add -p <profile name> <ARN>
• Inspect your ~/.aws/credentials file
• Do this for each profile you want added to your AWS configuration
• There no remove command. Manually edit ~/.aws/credentials
• Generate access key, secret access key, and session token
  • fed -u <username> up <profile>
• Edit credentials file as needed
  • Optional: add "region = us-east-1"
  • Optional: increase timeout, maximum is 12 hours, add "fed_role_duration = 43200" Otherwise the default value is one hour. I never was able to get this to work.
• Store Username as env var
• If your your localhost username does not match your PIN you can set and environment variable called 'FED_USERNAME'
  • You can now simply run: fed up <profile>, e.g. fed up di
• Set Default profile
• If you spend time in a particular AWS profile you might want to set the environment variable called 'AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE'
• e.g. export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE='di'
• Test each profile
  • export CONFIG_FILE="$HOME/.aws/credentials" ; fed up <profile> ; cat ~/.aws/credentials ; for profile in $(awk '/^[/ { gsub("]", ""); print $2 }' < $CONFIG_FILE); do aws ec2 --profile $profile" done
