在Amazon Linux ami上，你可以做:

$ ec2-metadata -i
instance-id: i-1234567890abcdef0

或者，在Ubuntu和其他一些linux版本上，ec2metadata——instance-id(这个命令可能不会在Ubuntu上默认安装，但你可以用sudo apt-get install cloud-utils添加它)

顾名思义，您也可以使用该命令获取其他有用的元数据。

我从http api为EC2元数据编写的c# .net类。 我将根据需要构建它的功能。如果你喜欢，你可以用它。

    public static class HttpMetaDataAPI
    {
        public static bool TryGetPublicIP(out string publicIP)
        {
            return TryGetMetaData("public-ipv4", out publicIP);
        }
        public static bool TryGetPrivateIP(out string privateIP)
        {
            return TryGetMetaData("local-ipv4", out privateIP);
        }
        public static bool TryGetAvailabilityZone(out string availabilityZone)

            if (TryGetRegionEndpoint(out endpoint))
            {
                // now that we know the region, we can get details about the requested service in that region
                var details = endpoint.GetEndpointForService(serviceName);

            // we can get figure out the region end point from the availability zone
            // that this instance is in, so we start by getting the availability zone:
            string availabilityZone;
            if (TryGetAvailabilityZone(out availabilityZone))
            {
                // name of the availability zone is <nameOfRegionEndpoint>[a|b|c etc]
                // so just take the name of the availability zone and chop off the last letter
                var nameOfRegionEndpoint = availabilityZone.Substring(0, availabilityZone.Length - 1);
                endpoint = RegionEndpoint.GetBySystemName(nameOfRegionEndpoint);
                return true;

对于。net用户:

string instanceId = new StreamReader(
      HttpWebRequest.Create("http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id")
      .GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
    .ReadToEnd();

对于c++(使用cURL):

    #include <curl/curl.h>

    //// cURL to string
    size_t curl_to_str(void *contents, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp) {
        ((std::string*)userp)->append((char*)contents, size * nmemb);
        return size * nmemb;
    };

    //// Read Instance-id 
    curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL); // Initialize cURL
    CURL *curl; // cURL handler
    CURLcode res_code; // Result
    string response;
    curl = curl_easy_init(); // Initialize handler
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, curl_to_str);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &response);
    res_code = curl_easy_perform(curl); // Perform cURL
    if (res_code != CURLE_OK) { }; // Error
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl); // Cleanup handler
    curl_global_cleanup(); // Cleanup cURL

请参阅这篇文章-注意URL中给出的IP地址是常量(这一开始让我感到困惑)，但返回的数据是特定于您的实例的。
