Quickspin is a simple CLI tool for spinning up a series of EC2 instances.
You can install Quickspin using pip
pip install Quickspin

python setup.py install
To configure Quickspin with your credentials follow the example below: quickspin -k Enter your AWS key: Enter your AWS secret: What region do you want to connect to? (regions can be found here http://docs.aw s.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html):
Thats it, you will be good to go. If you already have your credentials and configuration stored under ~/.aws then you don't need to configure quickspin and doing the above will give you the following output: Your credentials are already setup Your config is already setup
Once installed use you can get help on use Quickspin as follows:
quickspin -h
