Task Description

Develop a feature in the CLI tool to automate the troubleshooting of networking issues for AWS EC2 instances. This feature should encompass the following:

1. Connectivity Verification:

• Check SSH, ping, and telnet connectivity to the instance.
• Test accessibility via specific ports as required by applications.

2. Network Configuration Checks:

• Validate the security group, NACL, and route table configurations.
• Confirm correct subnet, Internet Gateway, and Elastic IP configurations.

3. Instance Networking Details:

• Display the instance’s private/public IP, DNS settings, and local firewall rules.
• Highlight discrepancies or misconfigurations.

4. Active Network Connections and Logs:

• Fetch and display active TCP/UDP connections.
• Capture relevant logs (e.g., syslog, dmesg, cloud-init) related to networking.

5. Performance Diagnostics:

• Provide options to run tools like traceroute and TCPDump.
• Analyze network latency and packet loss statistics

Acceptance Criteria

• CLI tool accepts AWS EC2 instance ID or IP address as input.
• Validates and displays instance-level networking details (IP, DNS, firewall).
• Tests and reports on connectivity issues (SSH, ping, telnet, ports).
• Verifies AWS configurations (security groups, NACLs, subnets, routes).
• Fetches and displays relevant logs for troubleshooting.
• Provides network diagnostics and highlights potential issues.
• Outputs results in both JSON and human-readable formats.
• Compatible with Linux-based EC2 instances.
• Includes detailed documentation for users on how to use the feature.
