link2aws

Converts ARNs to direct links to the AWS console.

Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) are strings like arn:aws:s3:::abc123 that uniquely identify resources in Amazon Web Services (AWS).

How to use

As a command line tool

$ cargo install link2aws
$ link2aws arn:aws:s3:::abc123
https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/abc123

As a library

use link2aws::arn_to_link;
// https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/abc123
println!("{}", arn_to_link("arn:aws:s3:::abc123").unwrap());

Advanced usage

The library consists of an ARN parser, and a console link generator. These two parts may be used separately.

• See Arn for an example of how to just parse an ARN.
• See ArnParts for an example of how to generate a link, or build an ARN, from your own struct.

Compatibility note

We will try to keep this library up-to-date as AWS changes. We will continuously add support for new services and resource types. The returned link will always be our most up-to-date best guess. This means that there is no guarantee that the returned link will stay the same if AWS changes a service, or that we will still be able to return a link for an ARN if AWS discontinues a service.
