ssh using private ip

[padilo]

Right now If I'm not wrong it uses public instance ip to connect to instances.

I would like a way to do it using private IPs. If you think if have sense I can try to do it ;)

You want to use awless ssh from an AWS instance, in the same private network as the one you want to SSH in ?

This could be implemented by adding a --private flag in awless sshand take into account this flag in the instanceCredentialsFromGraph function.

Right now we use DirectConnect.
I'm not an expert about it, but I think using private IP will be useful for people using a bastion host too.
I'll try to do it then ;)

The problem is identifying the bastion host that has to be used, in case there are more of them.

Such a bastion host would need to have a public IP, SGs with SSH allowed from the user, and also has to be in a subnet properly connected/routed/allowed to reach the target instance.

This logic can get complex since it would need querying of subnets, VPCs and security groups, but would be definitely cool once implemented.
