Wego BlackHole access via AWS Session Manager

AWS Session manager allows one to make an interactive shell connection to an EC2 instance with several key features:

Topic

Install AWS CLI v2

Install session-manager-plugin

Successful installation should output like below

Install ec2 instance connect cli

Successful installation should output like below

You can add an AWS SSO enabled profile to your AWS CLI by running the following command, providing your AWS SSO start URL and the AWS Region that hosts the AWS SSO directory.

AWS CLI displays the AWS accounts available for you to use. If you are authorised to use only one account, the AWS CLI selects that account for you automatically and skips the prompt. The AWS accounts that are available for you to use are determined by your user configuration in AWS SSO.

AWS CLI confirms your account choice, and displays the IAM roles that are available to you in the selected account. If the selected account lists only one role, the AWS CLI selects that role for you automatically and skips the prompt. The roles that are available for you to use are determined by your user configuration in AWS SSO.

This command will copy the key to the server for a short time and it will be deleted automatically when there is no active session.

Once ssh key send to the server, ready to tunnel.

Now we are tunnelled to the private resources using private Instance and without worrying about the SSH key added into machine.

Happy Secure Tunnelling !!!
