Problem : Automatisches Starten der Instanzen bei AWS
Lösung : Man lässt dieses Skript auf einer Maschine/Instanz laufen auf der die aws cli konfiguriert ist.

#!/bin/bash
set -o nounset
set -o pipefail
# Script startet alle definierten Maschinen
AWS_PATH="/root/.local/bin/"
# -----------------------------------------------------------
# Definieren der Maschinen die gestartet werden müssen
# -----------------------------------------------------------
# z.B. declare -a TO_START=("i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" "i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" "i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" "i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
declare -a TO_START=("")
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# nichts mehr ändern
# ------------------------------------------------------------
LOG_PATH="$(dirname $(readlink -f $0))/logs"
LOG_FILE="$(date +%Y%m%d)-awscli.log"
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# Funktionen
# ------------------------------------------------------------
function logger () {
        mkdir -p ${LOG_PATH}
        if [ -z ${2} ]; then
                STATI="INFO"
        else
                STATI="${2}"
        fi
        echo "$(date +%Y-%m-%d) | $(date +%R) | ${STATI} | ${1}" >> ${LOG_PATH}/${LOG_FILE}
}
# ------------------------------------------------------------
logger "Starte -> ${0##*/}" "INFO"
cnt=${#TO_START[@]}
for ((i = 0 ; i < cnt ; i++ )); do
        logger "${TO_START[i]} wird gestartet" "INFO"
        ${AWS_PATH}aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids ${TO_START[i]} > /dev/null 2>&1
done
logger "Beende -> ${0##*/}" "INFO"
exit 0
