# Bash script to start/stop instances and open SSH tunnel. 
# Ideal for instances where you want to persist storage and be able to start/stop the instance on demand
	# Forked from https://gist.github.com/dserodio/aaf4c62311fe5d6fbfaf
	# requires Python 2.7 to parse JSON response
	# requires the aws package locally -- sudo apt-get install awscli
	# Run 'aws configure' first and enter access key and secret key
	# Make sure to set region!
	# Beware! You will still be charged for EBS while the instance is stopped: https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/pricing/
