Would it be possible to develop a plugin that allows users to specify some AWS credentials and from there populate a list in instances from their account, directly into Royal TSX?
This would be awesome for being able to do things like connecting into auto-scaling group instances without having to look up IP addresses from the AWS console. Additional functionality (such as the ability to power cycle, etc.), like you can in the VMware plugin, would be an added bonus, but even a read-only view would be a great starting point!
since you posted this feature request in the Royal TS (for Windows) forum but mentioned Royal TSX in your message, I’d like to first clarify which platform you’re interested to have this feature on?
In Royal TSX (for macOS) you can already import machines from AWS by going to “File - Import - Amazon Web Services (EC2)”.
Apologies, wrong forum, it should be Mac, not Windows…! Regarding the import, is there a way of adding additional regions? The UK region (launched in December, eu-west-2) isn’t listed as one of the options…
we recently released the first round of public betas of Royal TSX V4. A new feature that’s included are Dynamic Folders which allow you to run scripts which return data back to Royal TSX which is then parsed and imported as objects.
While we’re aware that a fully integrated AWS sync feature would of course be preferable, Dynamic Folders are available now and allow us to get a feel of what features our users really need.
