CLI tool to print AWS resources and tags returned by the Resource Groups Tagging API.

$ go install
$ aws-resources -h

Note: AWS GetResources can return tagged or previously tagged resources, so this tool can list resources that already do not exist. When a result looks suspicious, confirm it with the service-specific API such as aws ec2 describe-nat-gateways.

Advantages over aws:

• easier to remember and use
• no dependencies, just a single binary
• portable - works on Mac, Linux, Windows, ...

Some use cases:

# Count resources in all available profiles.
for profile in $(aws configure list-profiles); do echo -n "$profile: "; aws-resources -profile $profile | wc -l; done

# Get resources with tags in all existing regions.
for region in $(aws ec2 describe-regions --all-regions --query 'Regions[].RegionName' --output text); do echo "---$region---"; aws-resources -region $region -tags; done
