Notes

• Assumes you have at least one AWS profile configured. See AWS docs for details.
• The tool assumes you keep all SSH keys in $HOME/.ssh/, and match the key name assigned to the EC2 instance. Use -p or AWS_KEY_DIR to specify an alternate path to your private keys.
• The GO111MODULE=on bit is due to some clunky behavior in go, you can follow this ticket to see when it gets fixed
