Instance console output tailing

[viraptor]

I couldn't find any command to display / tail the ec2 get-console-output equivalent. Is it hiding in some command that's not exposed well? If not, I'd like to make this a feature request.

@viraptor Thanks for the suggestion. Indeed a long time ago I though of it, but instead we focused on other topics.

It could be indeed useful to point to a EC2 instance and stream the console output in the local terminal. You are right in saying that there are some hidden commands ;)

Basically what you want is a tailer: streamer of some AWS side events. There code is only in the aws/tailers directory, so that they do not disrupt the official awless. Although they are experimental we require that there implementation be tested, clean and robust.

Looking at the hidden command awless tail -h, we can see they are 2 already.

So you can have a go. I know that @Trane9991 - another contributor - as played the most with the tailers.
