Concurrency control?

[iainelder]

I felt ambitious today and tried to list 17 accounts in 17 regions.

awsls failed before listing anything.

$ awsls cloudtrail --regions "${regions}" --profiles "${profiles}"


Error: failed to launch provider (/home/isme/.awsls/terraform-provider-aws_v3.31.0_x5): pipe2: too many open files

I'm not really sure what limit I'm hitting here, whether it's imposed by awsls itself or by my operating system.

When I halved the number of regions to 8, the behavior was unpredictable and unstable.

Once it froze for a while before printing:

Finished (killed)

Another time it printed something more esoteric:

panic: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: authentication handshake failed: context deadline exceeded"

I suppose there is a certain stable limit for the number of accounts and regions I can query.

Is there some way to control the concurrency of awsls without splitting the calls into batches?

Hi @iainelder, I started working on the first issues that you are describing. All provider plugins (17x17=289) are launched in the beginning and lead to too many open files. I'll try to launch/close the provider each time when needed (this is also what Terraform does and the overhead of launch/close is very small): https://github.com/jckuester/awsls/pull/39
