Tailscale ate my network (and I love it)

Resolving to a hostname in n AWS using a tag is eirksome though. MagicDNS on the other hand in Tailscale makes it easier.

FWIW I use both SSM Port Forwarding and Tailscale but Tailscale is easier for both tech and non-tech users IMO.

I wrote a ruby script that does tag lookup for me with an interactive prompt. Took about an hour. Sent it to my team so we all use it. Can't imagine subscribing to a service for something that is a minor devops task.

This was my comment re. AWS SSM and Tailscale just a few days ago.

'Installing the agent client side is no more or less tedious than installing the Tailscale client, IMO anyway.

I made two scripts, one in .Net with a GUI for non-devs to grep a server hostname or tag:name in AWS that resolves to an instance ID for SSH or RDP. And another python script doing the same but without the GUI for the dev team. Works a treat.

But you've already explained why it's a little tedious and now I've documented and understood why. Tailscale MagicDNS does all this nonsense for you. Yeah ok thanks for rubber ducking me I see your point now. :)'
